Comment by Bear_Music:
This is a lovely image. It has more of a high-contrast look than HDR, so it probably isn't scoring well, but it's nevertheless a beautiful rendering and deserves some love :-)

Comment by Lydia:
Did you actually take several images to get more DOF in focus than you could have with just one shot?

I'm questioning this.

It's a very flat plane.

It's a GORGEOUS image... just not good for this challenge topic.
(IMHO)

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge

Well thought out and executed, I like your action pose, glad I'm not on the receiving end of that blade! Your title probably means more to folk on your side of the pond than it does to me but the message is quite clear. I like your composition but I think its a shame the detail doesn't continue into the left half of the image it leaves the image feeling a little unbalanced. Your sillhouette works really well with just a hint of detail and the space beyond adds a really nice backdrop to your wicked pose.

Another excellent contribution Susan that has received a respectable score, well done.

Just happened to notice this photograph this evening. That "pauper's meal" looks pretty delicious to me. The photo is good, too.

An excellent image that meets the challenge well.

Wow Susan! Everything about this is just so good, right from the original concept of the idea through to the finished result, there is a lot of thought and hard work that has been put into this. I cannot fault it but I suppose I can see why you got the comment about the teardrop but your explanation, which was obviously not available to your commenter, clarifies it.

You were up against some tough opposition regardless of the invincible gyaban but thoroughly deserving of your high score and placing, well done and thanks for your original creativity in this sad challenge.
