Bikers are, by definition, socially distant - except with their own kind

For me, the texture diminishes an otherwise high scoring photo. I understand it's a matter of what appeals and some will believe the texture helps. I just disagree.

This is a miniature set for a SciFi show done by the New Zealand Weta Studios. I climbed up on a ladder near the set and shot it with my iPhone. The whole set was about 8 feet across as I remember. This is only a part of it.

btw, if you ever in Welligton, make it a point to visit Weta Workshop and Weta Studios. SO Cool!

Guess so.

Not sure how prevalent lens baby lovers are. I know you love it. I don’t so much.

Glad you shoot for yourself. You’re such a great photographer, it usually works out.

Inside the black hole .. there is light ?!!

Never over estimate voters.

The connection to the theme wasn’t obvious, so I suspect a bunch of low DNMC votes. What it was, wasn’t obvious. Voters seem to prefer color palettes toward the blue end of the spectrum, rather than reds and oranges (my subjective conclusion, not based on statistical analysis.) As stated elsewhere, blur without some focused element to rest the eye is difficult for voters.

I gave it a 3, because of some of the notions above. I couldn’t figure out what it was that was inside, and what it was inside of.

If you’re interested in black holes, you might like a book titled Black Hole Survival Guide by Janna Levin.

Using a title to lend relevance to a challenge topic is a long and proud tradition at DPC. This pretty low on the egregious scale IMHO.

No, not mine. No idea who lives there.
