I'm not surprised to see this photo so far down the list given DPC voters' traditional preferences, but I AM disappointed to see it so. I really enjoyed this photo. As I said in my comment during voting, it really evoked the fluidity and ethereal nature of a sumi-e painting. I'd be curious to know what the subject is.
I missed this one during voting, but I love the colors and the little strands and bits of whatever. Excellent work.
This is a clear case for how much the DPC voters don't like abstracts.
This was my favourite images in the challenge... the only one I gave a 9 to. Yet the masses didn't appreciate it like I did... their loss. I love the simplicity, the minimalism, its abstractness. Clear winner of a MUAIMHO.
A stunning shot. The most unique in this challenge, and a beautiful abstract. Not sure if this is appealing to a lot of voters, but it is appealing to me. 10, and I will cross my fingers and hope this ends up in the ribbons.
