In camera overlay of 2 RAW files converted to B&W high contrast ans sharpened (maybe too much?). I like the feel of this image a lot and for that reason I submitted. I'm sure it will get bashed by the voters, but to me, the battle of the sexes is fought within, the way we think, the way we feel, so for that reason also I feel this image reflects the Battle perfectly.
WOW!!! Thank you all very much, I never expected to get a ribbon. Some great comments, We took around 100 shots before we got a good line-up, you should see some of the ones that got away, monster city, great fun to do, Im still learning about the camera features and how to use them properly.

Only just saw this - this f**king rocks MAK! The ribbon is nice but seriously, this is one of those 'above ribboning' shots. Innovative, wickedly executed and maximum impact. I don't think the contrast is overdone at all...very stylish. Kickass work dude...
Marac, this image has it all. It succeeds at a level far beyond the usual DPC "look", conveying its message with incredible intensity. You've transcended the challenge and created "art" using the theme as a springboard. For what it's worth, I have no quarrel with the double-exposure issue; I'm well aware of how much work went into making this one work :-)
Congrats on a great image Marac...I would have to say I think it was right on the border as far as being in the rules, but if it's legal, then it's legal, and a worthy ribbon winner...perfect execution
Way overprocessed... Violates the spirit of the rules in that you used two exposures. I know you did it in camera but IMHO it shouldn't be allowed. My 2 cents worth... Take it as you will.

MAK - Thought this was validated during voting? I saw the 'This image has been validated' at the time.
I knew this was yours, and is excellent. I gave this the highest of the lot - shame you missed the blue again!
Thanks mate YES it has been validated and was validated during the challenge. I am happy to get the second ribbon I just hope my luck can hold out longer so I can maybe get another soon.
Congrat´s Marac, the two of you will obviously make very beautiful babies, just make sure they are not split down the middle like this though, hehehehe :)
Oh dear.... When did this happen? I thought anything IN CAMERA was fine.
I pm'd SC a couple of weeks ago and they said the rule "create your entry from a single capture" takes precedence over the "you may" section of anything in camera. I had a similar idea and since I am a new D200 owner was looking forward to this feature as well. Bummer.

Congrats on your ribbon, highly deserved. In fact I found this the most interesting entry of the challenge, an image that crosses the line from a nice capture into art.
Very striking as well as technically brilliant, i would be very interested to see how this was done? I'm guessing kind of double exposure with part covered lens? It's a great potrait even without that element so i think you'll do very well
That looks very unusual. It kind of hurts my brain if I stare at it. Well executed. I feel that a bit less beard on the woman's side would have helped to impart the concept a bit more effectively. The ear gets more attention than it deserves because it is so bright. (Unless your message is that we should listen to each other more.) At first I didn't like this image but it has kept me looking at it and thinking longer than any other image I've ever seen on this site. This one is right up with the winners for me.
whoa... creepy.. this is one of the more original photos iv seen in this competition. The B&W is a nice touch. this out of what iv seen would be in my top 5.
Great concept, and you pulled it off nicely! I have no idea how you did that, but it looks great. The ear and neck seem a little bright though, and it draws my attention to them. 7
