I knew there was something special with this photo, but wasn't able to put my finger on it. IR! Great idea. It really works wonderfully here. Congrats on the ribbon!

Great perspective; this is what I call a vanishing point! Also, nice experimentation with the smoke effect. Congratulations on your ribbon.

Trees are so inspiring, but also so difficult to shoot well. Not mentioning using them in a meaningful composite. This is a very good example of such integration, and frankly, it is fascinating. One of my top picks, thanks for creating this.

This summarizes pretty well how losing childhood can feel. I hope one can hold to his teddy bear forever, it would be sad to put old friends on the side. Thanks for this, great work.

I usually am not fond of your images, but I really like this one. It makes me feel like an old toy in the attic, in a pleasant way.

Sally, thank you so much for you very kind comment, much appreciated!
In fact DPC (and photography in general) is a rather small part of my life, it is just a hobby, that adds some fun on top of an already very full calendar. It is one of the reasons I don't enter many challenges: I can pick one week from time to time during which I don't sleep much, but I wouldn't be able to do it permanently. Regarding my images, I upload them to several websites (the usual ones: 1X, Flickr, Deviantart, 500px, and my own), and sometimes enter other challenges with them, but I didn't create any book so far (even if my stuff has been included in several ones). Regarding your other questions, I took 1545 photos for this project, but it isn't very relevant: most are small variations of the same thing, so that I can cherry pick the best ones for each part (for example, 672 alone have been taken during my trip at the sea, because I wanted to be sure to have the appropriate waves pictures, but only 13 were actually used). As for the models, yes, they have been very kind to accept posing for this! However, I'll probably won't ask them to do it very often, because I also like to create images with more personal concepts, and I would be uncomfortable dragging someone else into them. Thanks again!

It definitely deserved to finish much higher than that in my opinion. Great tones, and fantastic work on the face of course! Congrats, very, very good stuff.

It's wonderful. Great colors, great composition, and fantastic creativity with the processing. I'm so glad you dared to push the boundaries of what's usually seen, it is quite inspirational.
