Lesley: when you get this close to pay dirt it speaks of a lot of talent. Your images are always a pleasure to see. Congratulations on your 4th placing.
I tend to be real harsh when it comes to fitting a theme. I saw your photo and realized your sign was not a traffic road sign and immediately gave you a 5 because you did not technically fit the theme, [snip]
And THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is what's wrong with the voters at DPC.
I tend to be real harsh when it comes to fitting a theme. I saw your photo and realized your sign was not a traffic road sign and immediately gave you a 5 because you did not technically fit the theme, and your composition is nice overall and I thought you did a great job with the lighting. I do understand why you came in 4th place though. Congrats ! well deserving
OHH my GOD LES, you almost got it... I new this image would score high... Congrats on your 4th place you really deserve it... its a wonderful image, like the signs says NO ENTRY and i would not like to enter a place that seems so freak as that one...
Way to go..
