Those people in your photo shouldn't be so surprised you've won the red ribbon. After all, it's a cinch for such an elegant piece of work.

your photographs are totally awesome ..
they have something indefinable which elevates them into works of art .. do you give lessons .. altho its probably more your state of mind than anything else .. :)

Wonderfully expressive characters. The entire scene is pitch perfect, from the people to the cinematic composition to the marvelous range of tonality. It's all so admirably done.

the processing is a little overdone, draws attention to itself. the capture is good, though.

Awarded for the March 2013 Free Study

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

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. The signature Jagar glow (It can't be anyone else) - shot with the Fuji in JPEG?? I haven't seen you get quite this look with the Sony before so you've either mastered the workflow or you have reverted!
2. Very curious image - you make me want to look up.
3. Their worried expressions - might someone fall?
4. Perfect toning, as ever.
5. Great framing of your subject - I like the space you've left to the right, being able to see in there adds depth.

Masterful as ever.

It's rare that a ribbon-winner is of much interest to me, but this is a wonderful exception. Thank you.

Well this looks like a classic jagar. Sublime capture of 'the moment' - use of light quite wonderful.
