An honor to win both the Posthumous Blue and the normal blue. Only 2nd time to have ever happened on DPC (to this day). Thank you!
Also very happy to win a blue ribbon with my favorite lens of all time.
This scene happened in a split second. I grabbed my camera and clicked. Luckily it was in Av mode at f/1.2. The real work was done in post-processing where I spent 2 hours doing very careful dodge and burn to leave the kind of impact on the viewer that I wanted it to leave.

I think this is by far your best challenge entry and could get published on 1x. Your current profile page mostly represents the preference of a mythical average DPCer and would be unlikely to be published on 1x. Am I right? What do you think? I am interested in understanding what 1x selectors select and why certain images are very successful on DPC but do not get published on 1x.
You probably know more about 1x than I do. If you think this might do well over there, I might try uploading it and see how it will received. I wouldn't care one way or the other. 1x.com isn't a site I hang out regularly. Besides why should I care what style 1x.com likes? I am not going to alter my style just so that it becomes less DPC-like and more 1x.com like. I put a lot more stock into DPC than 1x because it involves a much larger sample size than it does on 1x which is basically what 1 single curator thinks of the images submitted over there.

I'm a little slow and just finding this. Absolutely gorgeous work! Everything here is so very appealing to me and the tonal choice is fantastic!
Very well deserved blue ribbons, indeed! Congrats!
The coveted double blue - and with pigeons! They remind of European pigeons - are they? I love the one just about to land on the light fixture. Poetry, indeed. Thanks!
I know not everyone likes pigeons but I can't imagine a city without them. So I like this bit of urban nature, with the pigeons in various poses, ready to squash themselves onto tiny ledges. Except for the clever one who gets a lamp to himself ;-)
Can't stop staring at this, it's just EPIC. The processing is awesome, love the tones, you have a winner here, truly the best so far, and My pick for the bluey, even though I haven't seen all the photos yet. I'm adding it as a fave.
