OK, I feel comfortable enough to be able to say this: I REALLY WANTED A RIBBON *weep!* But I'm absolutely not complaining...my highest score and finish ever!! Thank you all SO MUCH for all of the great comments. They were really a pleasure to read. I really fuzzed and contrasted the picture quite a bit on purpose -- I know it hurt me, but I know it made for a much better photograph. You can see the original and some outtakes at //www.relliott.net/dp_technology.asp --- All in all, a great week. I have to give all kinds of props to my big toe which, with the help of my remote, took this picture. ;) Now to go dig up my old smurf toys for this week's challenge. Thanks again!! Rob

Comment by Gracious:
I like this very much because it has a strong initial impact. At first, as it was loading I felt disgust, because I am disgusted when people (even animals for that matter) are bound. Slavery, ughhhhhhhh! As it continued to load and I saw the whole picture I smiled. How clever! A siimple composition with a powerful statement. Excellent!
Technically: I like the lighting, especially the way it hits, and highlights the knuckles, accenting the clenched fist. Removing most of the color was a good choice too. Makes it more...um....stark!
A stark reality. A concept well thought out and executed. Great job! 10 Grayce aka Gracious
