So looking over the images today I never did the obvious thing and see what the actual posthumous shot was … until now.
Looking at this with more time and patience, I actaully find it to be much more engaging than i originally thought:
likes:
-The striped shirts remind me of childhood- as if this image was taken of me and a friend
-the chairs have a nice way of framing this
-As I mentioned in my previous comment, the leg approaching adds intrigue
-The extreme lines and persepective are obviously the main drama here
dislike:
that thing hanging on the back of the chair =)
Thanks for the posthumous ribbons and in the inspiration and creativity it helps encourage. Getting a ribbon in this category is on par with one in a free study- except cooler! =)
snapshot or badly composed? Only thing in focus is the top of the chair, contrast is too high, your foot is in the frame; posthumous will probably call it art.
It was all worth it just for that imperishable comment from Captain Obvious. Congrats!

The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it’s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It’s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to protect your and the other’s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.
My favourite of the challenge. One of two tens given on my first pass.
The POV, takes us right into the scene - I particularly like your leg at the bottom of the frame. The high contrast works very well indeed and the blur is fascinating and slightly Lensbabyish.
Then there is the story the image tells - I can't tell if he is just stood over her (?) or sat on her and what are the things in their hands anyway??
Overall this has a cinematic feel that I really enjoy. Enough to fav it.
If I were posthumous I would give you a ribbon for this. Red, I think. I like the illusion of looking down at his reflected alter ego. Alas, I don't think you are eligible to receive a posthumous ribbon. Just a feeling I have.
THis is a real nice POV … We can see the photographer's foot (I assume) which is actually the most intriguing part since it has mysterious and metaphorical potential. It leaves me wanting a bit more story though.

Wow. This is so good. The "loser" seems sooooo faaaaar awaaaaay, and the standing "victor" sooooo taaaaall!! Normally, the chairs and fans and other elements would be distracting, but they propose a prison of vertical lines, caging in the opponents. Marvelous.
