 A redo of blue loop, my first entry. I'm guessing this will not fare as well as that entry ... that's what I get for being a giant suck.
----

"I was standing by my window,
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

I said to that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see here go

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

I went back home, my home was lonesome
Missed my mother, she was gone
All of my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that mother maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky"

43rd place???? This was one of the 4 10's I gave. Seems I don't jive with the voters lately, all of the 10's I gave in this challenge were nowhere near the top. Sorry JP.

Very simplistic, well composed shot. Only thing that is sort of odd is that there are no apparent shadows beneath the rope, yet there is a shadow beneath the rope where it crosses over the rope below it. some magic of physics I guess, but it looks odd. Nice shot.

Very nice shot. Love the layout and focus. Very sharp, simple, and definitely puts the focus on the challenge. Good luck.
