I didn't vote in this challenge, but I loved reading the comments afterwards. To me, however, this looks more like a cave than a coal mine. Maybe if you sized it at 640x, I might see what you were getting at.
Woo Hoo! Having a look at the DPC lowest ever pages, you made page 2, and just above the bad "Kitty" shot. I see that there have been others to explore this dark side before you.
On the "bright" side, though, you got 3 10's and 3 9's so someone understood what you were saying.
This leaves a lot to the imagination and is open to all kinds of scrutiny. I do see your point (I think) that the coal mines are blackening the planet and creating a Harsh Environment and ultimately ending everything. Is this right?? I think most everyone will be looking for the meaning that they can see and not the meaning that they have to try and read into the photograph.
Perfect tone, low noise in the image available. Nothing distracting in the composition. Seriously though, I love the implication, and the title takes me straight to a very dark place. Some may c 10
A look at the lowest scoring photos on this site shows many images like yours, so are you going for the "brown ribbon"? A coal mine is certainly a harsh environment, but I'd use a flash.
They have lights in a coal mine... so i say you are a liar and didnt actually take this in a coal mine and are misleading us with the title! ;-P good luck, i'm not sure this is something DPC voters like... but it made me smile in recognition of the thought behind it at least :)
Ok, you are going to really get slammed on this one. Hope you are going for a brown ribbon on this because I feel that this may come in last place. Sorry. Very creative though
