So full of life. I like how her hair resembles the branches. Stunning.

This photo is absurd yet still manages to convince you of its reality (i.e. the whole point of the craft). It's unfortunate, but photography is quickly becoming a lost art. The days of a thousand words are pretty much gone. Nowhere is this more evident than this challenge. We awarded three ribbons to photos for their dust jackets alone, while missing out on this novel. Your 20th place finish does nothing more than illustrate the fact that voters are still reading at 3rd grade levels.

Don't take this the wrong way but this picture got better with the DQ bar on top. The whole thing just begs to be on a t-shirt.

As Quiet As the Dead

Until I read these comments I was completely unaware that attractive people were immortal. Good news for both you and me! :P In all seriousness, if I had one critique it would be that while your photo clearly conveyed the quiet concept it only did so superficially. I personally would have enjoyed it more had the concept been supported in more aspects of the picture making process. For example, your composition fills the frame with detail and the light is fairly bright. As a picture, independent of the concept, it's loud, not quiet. Had it been a more minimal composition with say a dim light source in the distance it would have quieted down the shot considerably. If that makes sense.

Old yet full of strength. Love the light and the shadows. That and those clouds make for a strong composition.

I'm not a fan of this much editing to the sky but it's probably the best version I've seen. It's like 3D with out the glasses.

It's nice to see something that isn't a 100% contrived catch the fish once in a while.
