An example of a very artistic photo that gets punished on DPC. I always look forward to seeing your work, and this is no exception. I would actually prefer it without the reaper-type figure in the back, though. I think with just the woman as a subject it would be a gallery-quality photo. (Realize it wouldn't have worked for the challenge that way, but my .02 for your portfolio.)
Jayson, I think this was a very nice shot. Unfortunately, you tried to make people think and that is a no-no in DPC. I thought this conveyed a very strong message. Good job.
Effing cool. This is the first pic that i looked at, then read the title and then had to do a "double take" at the picture...for that you get a 10...the only one i gave!
The literal "double take" required to see what's going on in this picture is probably well beyond the DPC half-second voter. But for those that stop, it's pretty durn nifty.

Way too blurry. Whatever your intended purpose, I do not think it came out very well. The contrast is good, making use of the full tonal range, but the rest of the photo needs some work. Actually, just a reshoot. It looks like it was an attempt for a motion panning, but the subjects are blurred as much as the background.
Hmmm..... This really made me think....and look. I think it is a good photo, but unfortunately it does not appeal to me. I score it average with a 5. Maybe I would have scored it better in a different category. I hope that others like it more than me..... Good luck.
