This is such a lovely image. I'm very surprised that it didn't do better.
Congratulations Ingrid on a beautiful shot, I guess I'm not too surprised at the overall score, this type of shot just doesn't do well in the challenges which is a pity. Too bad more photographers on site dont appreciate something other than super-sharp, costumes, and over-satureated tone mapped colors. (Bit of a rant here, sorry) Again, beautiful shot and thanks for pushing DPC to look beyond "out of focus".
Outstanding abstract. I was about to get nitpicky and criticize the two small blown higlights (I must admit I'm a stickler for preserving detail in all the highlight areas) but I find, to my surprise, that I'm not bothered by them at all...10
with everything out of focus it gives it a very abstract feel... maybe too abstract. this one is hard, part of me loves it and part of me dosen't. if you were going for this concept, bravo... if it was a mistake, bravo.
