| Going back to your first DPC Ribbon, with this amazingly well done image. Those were the days of grunge and draganizer effects and you were a master at them. :) |

| I love this image because it scares me. Personally I hate drugs, so right there it's pushing it for me, but the image pulls the emotion out so well. I especially love how intense the eyes are, and even more so, how the reflection seems to be a little more cold of a color theme. Love it! |

Jeez Roz!!!!
Your first ribbon..Congratulations!!!!
I will be honest and say I wish it was for one of your less contrevesial shots.
I totally get the quality of the shot, the quality of the PP and the message that it is trying to convey but hardly one to hang over your wall
Actually given that shots like this can get marked down by some voters the fact that you have ribboned with it speaks volumes for the power and technicals of the shot
Great job Girl |

Are you down and back to earth yet, dear friend, as you totally ROCK with this result.....
I am sure Greg and the family, including Katee, are all very excited for you.....
You so deserved your first ribbon, and this was the image that had to do it for you. I had no idea it was yours, so was blown away when I saw the results today.....
I do hope you all have a great celebration at home there..... Its time to PARTY, and only wish I was there with you.....

Good idea, great shot, superb processing. A well deserved ribbon, congratulations!
The low votes are probably again from people who think they're answering the question "Do you think people should take drugs?" instead of "Do you think this is a good photograph that fits the challenge?" with their votes. I wish they left comments to at least explain why they vote the way they do. |

| congrats I liked this shot. I like how in the reflection the eyes look bloodshot and the face seems more aged. For some reason I think if the powder was not so scattered on the mirror. It is good to see at least one picture that fit the challenge ribboned. Its funny how 1st and 3rd are mirror images that look real good but barely fit the challenge if at all. |

This is such an awesome image Roz, and so deserved to be in the top three..... Coming second to Ursula is also something very special, as she is a master of photography.....
Well done dear friend, and this is the first of many.....

| Good post-processing on the reflection works really well. It took me a while to see it. Initially I was going to tank this shot as I felt it was there purely for shock value following on from the controversy over the shot in the pencil challenge.. but this works works well on its own merits. Hope it does well. Going for a 9 here (was going to be a 6 originally, that will teach me to look harder at shots in future!) |

10/29/2007 06:46:37 PM |

| Wow! I like the composition, the expression and the altered reflection as a "preview" of things to come. It perfectly fits the challenge and deserves a ribbon. I hope you don't get too many 1, 2 and 3 votes of people who have this knee-jerk reaction to vote low on anything unpleasant. |

| I really like the angle and processing. I wish her eye contact were with herself though. |

| One of the things that sucks about the schizophrenic nature of DPC censorship is the schizophrenic nature of DPC censorship. I had a drug-themed shot in mind as well but I was afraid to enter given how things have been going here lately. Kudos to you for having more balls than me. Nice shot too, love the wretched reflected face. |
