p.p.s. ok, really it's an oil painting I painted years ago.
The reason for ISO 800 was stupidity and/or forgetfulness. The noise, however, is not due to the ISO but to the screen window. I figure with the noise, the incomprehensibility, the difficult pun in the title, the non-literal interpretation of a lame, anally-defined challenge, and the small number of entries, I have a real shot for the brown!

I am not sure what to say about this picture. I checked your website and you do have good stuff, natural and good stuff but I must say this doesn't look like one of your work.
but anyway, let's get down the business.
I have no idea Surprisium, I think it means something about surprise?
I like 1 quarter of this photo which is standing out pretty good. I don't like the way sky, clouds and wires on the window but only the face. I am not even sure if that's your place, or someone else's, if you did have chance, I would suggest you to wait a bit more, have sun go down a bit more, darker outside and lighter inside... even a little spotlight on the face could be pretty interesting.
This photo looks like entered just to see what people would say rather than competing in the challenge.
Keep up the good work (not this, this is horrible) and show us better work of yours :)
and thanks for the great work you have done for DCP community :) we all appreciated.
Congrats on your achievement of the brown. I'm going to spoil your celebration of the occasion by giving you my red shoehorn for a humorous spoof and a valiant shoehorn entry as well.
It's actually a very creative image! It makes one stop and look, trying to figure out just what the heck that face in the window really is.
Ok, that's just creepy. I hope you live in a really bad neighborhood (not really) to justify that! It'll sure take care of any prospective burglars or vandals though.
All the challenges as I see it has three factors as DPC describes it: the challenge theme itself, the photo should be creative and the photo should be interesting. You may have failed on the challenge part but you scored very well on the most important parts which is to make a nice photo.
It's exciting, mystic and makes me think who she she is and what she is doing there.
I love it. Even the reflection in the glass of the tree/forest is appropriate but it's unfortunate that the cars (looks like two) was there. But I guess it they weren't yours to move or you would've done it.
Ok, maybe I lack creativity, but I just don't like made up elements when there are so many real one's to choose from. Besides that, the image isn't very interesting and isn't very well executed. Maybe going for the brown award here?
I appreciate all attempts at creativity in Challenges, but I don't understand what you are trying to convey here. Is the painting surprised? Am I supposed to be surprised?
