 It's this one that my memory went to.

As for being "best"...it's never about technical best-ness for me, or any other sort of best-ness really. It has to pass the conjuring test...the excellence-in-moment-recall test. This one did it for me.

I also wanted to enter something that hasn't been seen anywhere online.

I don't know why I'm surprised by this. It's not that I base my worth on scores at DPC...that's not the case at all. Maybe it's a sort of disappointment in the general population here at times. Maybe this photo is asking too much of people? Sometimes I wonder why I stay until I get a comment like Paul's. Then I know. At least one person gets it...actually 4 of you do so far.

After...thanks again for the comments and for the kudos Anita!

I was looking through the Best of results for shots that connected with me but maybe not with the masses. I thought this was fantastic, I gave it a nine. I am pleased to see this got some recognition from Paul and Anita. Thanks for entering it.

I love how your view of suburbia is always fantastical. You create a world where I'd love to live.

Bubbles within bubbles. I like the hand reaching up.

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!

(Voted earlier)

This is one of my 10s - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Bubbles and hand - reminiscent of some RKT goodness - what could be better?

2. I'm a fan of selective focus and it's put to really good effect here. You lead the eye fantastically - into the bubbles and through, into the space beyond.

3. I really like seeing the garage over the way - it gives a situated context to the image that I really enjoy.

4. The little hand is great - the somewhat imploring gesture suggestive of a story to be told, an imagination at work and life being lived.

5. The low contrast tones - these give a muted feel, calming the image and introducing a sense of 'hush' to the scene. Like the image must have been taken on a Sunday afternoon with grandparents asleep in comfy chairs behind. There is a possibility of light rain later...

Overall, this is a little bit of magic.
