Cool shot, very moody. Looks like the kind of place you could spend hours photographing. It'd have been nice to see some lighter tones and a clear focal point.

Its Hour Come Round At Last

I got thoroughly distracted from DPC and things photographic for a good while, so I'm just seeing this photo for the first time now. Belated but heartfelt: congratulations on the first-place position, on the excellent score, and, of course, for the compelling photograph and capturing the story that it tells (even without the benefit of your comments).

This really is a lovely shot--one of my highest votes. The placement of the sun is just perfect... I have trouble imagining that there's a better time of day to shoot! But I'd happily be proven wrong :) Congrats on your blue!

I'm a bit late to notice your fantastic, ribbon-winning shot here, but hey, congratulations.

I knew you'd make the front page eventually :)

Really very cool how you made a subject out of the absence of something.

Congratulations on your consecutive ribbons! This shot is truly a wonder. I've never seen a dining room like that in my life! Is this your mom's dining room? (Or is that an inappropriate question for a public forum?)

A Balancing Act

Congrats on the ribbon! I didn't even think those were real people until I read your comments--it's such a surreal scene, and the posing is so impeccable as to seem, well, nearly impossible (especially for such a big family of presumable amateur models)!

Glad you decided to start submitting again :)
