How did you convince the duck to stay put during the session? :) Great work, I love how this photo shows the feeling of a different individual among a crowd.

You perfectly rendered the lonely and uneasy atmosphere of this place, great work! I love how everything is sharp except of course the walking person: the motion on it makes it pop and really adds to the "industrial" feeling of the location. Love it.

Yes. Link. I think it is a good thing to remember that army men can actually protect people, not just kill them.

Great shot Luc. The angle is very original, the DoF is perfect, and the noise is well controlled. Congratulations on your nice finish!

Congratulations on your ribbon and fantastic score! The lighting is just splendid, very inspirational, impressive.

Edit to add: I would LOVE to see what kind of shots these "3" voters can pull out, since they rate this work so low... :-( What a shame. Why do they even vote in a photo challenge, since they obviously don't have a clue?

I Put a Spell on You

Congratulations for this great work! It was one of my 2 highest votes in this challenge.

The only concern I have about it is technical: the light on the main subject, that doesn't seem totally consistent with the rest of the picture. For example, her left palm (right as we look) is lit by a frontal source that is not impacting the pumpkins, which contributes to this "not integrated" feeling. Also, the light on the red dress is probably a bit too strong.

Other than that, the composition, idea and humor are perfect :-) Oh, and the lightning bolts are awesome. Love it!

"Chalk"mate

Incredible work on the carving. Just out of curiosity, what kind of tools/technique did you use? Just holding a chalk in the hand and carving with some kind of knife, or something more specific? Also, I can imagine you broke an healthy amount of chalks before obtaining this result... Anyway, congratulations on the ribbon, very deserved!
