It's the period, right? I'm almost positive. Very nice job. DOF is perfect.

I loved this one!!! It was a 9 from me. It is a real shame that more people didn't get it. I love it.

I am really seeking a greater DOF, here. I don't understand the title vis-a-vis the photo.

I very much like the DOF streak and the color theme and textures. I'm totally confused by the title, though. Voting it an 8.

Not sure I get this. A period is the end/ending. Is that what is suppose to be closing?

Basically I don't get what you are trying to tell with this shot. Close macro? No feel of challenge.

I don't understand what here is "in the act of closing."

Oh my goodness I feel I am being really stupid here. Something about this picture is really appealing but for some reason I feel I am struggling with what you are trying to get across in terms of closing.

My thoughts (for what they are worth)

1. Is it something to do with the word casa? But I only know this as being the spanish for house rather than closing

2. Is it to do with the thin band of focus?

3. (My preferred route) is it to do with the fact that a full stop (or period if you are American) closes a sentance.

I guess the later with it being accentuated by the focus line...Hope I am right. ANyhoo regardless of whether I am or not I have to say great shot and I have really enjoyed looking at it trying to work it out. Super textured feel 8

What a WONDERFUL image!

I don't think it technically fits the challenge - but for me I could care less - I just LOVE IT!
