Wow! That's really cool!

This i awesome. The crop is awesome and works perfectly. This should have scored MUCH MUCH higher.

Amazing. Try to get a katana and redo this. It will look awesome.
05/11/2006 10:01:21 PM
great take on the challenge..love this crop...suits the shot perfectly..
05/10/2006 11:57:21 AM
original and daring. Something new is refreshing on this site where many themes get overdone. I made it a fave.

I totally agree. I gave it a 10.

Congrats on doing so well. As someone else mentioned, such extreme borders are very tricky with the DPC crowd.

With such a controversial presentation, doing as well as you did speaks volumes.

Oh and a big shout out to Vancouver! (actually from victoria, but when you live in Asia, Vancouver feels rather close to home)

Original presentation which creates an impact on the viewer.
05/09/2006 04:30:32 PM
Like the picture and the layout really makes it stand out.
05/09/2006 01:41:44 PM
Nice interpretation, simplistic but essential.
05/09/2006 11:11:52 AM
Great shot! the combo of the eyes the position of the sword work well. And the crop and frame are perfect additions to finalize the shot.
05/09/2006 10:22:24 AM
Simple, emotive, powerful. Not too original but, then again, that wasn't really the POINT was it?!?

I enjoyed it.
05/08/2006 12:55:32 PM
IMO, this is almost a great shot. For me, the thick "borders" don't help. I think I see what you were going for but I don't think it quite gets there.
05/08/2006 04:26:20 AM
Refreshingly different. Well done.
05/07/2006 07:43:48 PM
Very "Kill Bill". Cool.
05/07/2006 01:57:57 PM
The border is very distracting. Other than that, nice shot.
05/07/2006 03:06:32 AM
I like your Pano look here...good choice for B&W also
05/06/2006 10:48:04 PM
The shot looks very artistic, the white space is a bit distracting though.
05/06/2006 12:30:07 AM
very creative and well photographed
05/05/2006 02:59:54 PM
Your choice of crop is very dramatic. Good job!
05/05/2006 07:37:14 AM
I really like the use of the border - bold, creative and refreshing!10
05/05/2006 12:21:02 AM
don't like this one at all, but it is original, so you get a 6
05/04/2006 09:24:27 PM
this will be interesting if it qualifies for basic editing
05/04/2006 06:44:57 PM
Very brave composition and framing. I hope this does well.
05/04/2006 06:02:10 PM
works for me. 9
05/04/2006 12:18:58 PM
Sooooo cooool!
05/03/2006 11:58:33 PM
This is a very striking image. Wish there was more of it. It's very much overpowered by the wide borders. The concept and the lighting are well done.
05/03/2006 10:06:40 PM
The shot itself is good. The frame is very distracting.
05/03/2006 08:47:06 PM
um scary
05/03/2006 08:44:59 PM
nice. very powerful imge. i also like the crop. a 9 from me.
05/03/2006 08:05:09 PM
This is a great idea and, dare I say, a well 'executed' photo.
05/03/2006 06:06:13 PM
Your border is overpowering, your photo is too small to porperly judge. It looks cool but it would not be fair to other larger photos to give this high marks. Many photos will look good at this size but at 640x480 would show flaws.
05/03/2006 05:23:36 PM
brave use of empty space/border. works for me .7
05/03/2006 05:10:58 PM
Now this is something different in DPC. For me it works, good idea, good shot!
05/03/2006 04:41:10 PM
surely a ribbon for this! - 9
05/03/2006 01:47:29 PM
Great composition. I wonder if it would add more mood having the top and bottom black though?
05/03/2006 11:54:17 AM
WICKED! Me like!

Nice entry for the next challenge as well... "Clichés and Slayings"...

Kill Bill, eat your heart out...

I'm undecided as to whether I would have preferred the whole hand in the frame or not...
05/03/2006 07:16:04 AM
Scary - good picture, good saying :o)
05/03/2006 05:50:57 AM
wow.. makes me whant tp play tekken :) thats a good thing by the way:P
05/03/2006 02:08:58 AM
Man you are going to get killed in the voting for this but this is SWEET. 10!
05/03/2006 01:00:14 AM
NICE!
05/03/2006 12:59:47 AM
Mehmet? I'm definitely not a fan of frames, but this one works well with the great composition!
