Sometimes reaching the few is far better than pleasing the most. You received comments from some of the best "appreciators" on DPC - Ed (e301), Paul (ubique), Andre (undieyatch); AND a Chromeydome award. And I've been back to view this one several times since the challenge. You do good stuff.
Thanks chromeydome for your exuberant comment. To be recognized by a few does much to make up for the 115th place. I've never been good at posting for the majority.
A parade of ghosts; I enjoy the roughness of this, though perhaps the slightly off-square framing adds a dynamic that isn't in the end helpful? And of course, I think ot cries out to be black and white - I don't think the dirt and sootiness of it would be lost, and the parade of shapes might be enhanced. Fine work.
To me, this feels like a picture of ghosts. It has the essence of something alive, yet the colors and lighting don't feel vibrant, they feel like they're from the past. I like this a lot.
