| Pity, I threw an 8 at it :) Now show us the original! Would love to see Cuba and hope to do it justice with an image like this. |

| I have just read through the DQ thread and I just can't believe some of what was said. My personal view - you have created an image with a true artist's vision and that's all that matters to me. The jury's mission was to look for the best Art, not for DPC specific technicalities. A well deserved award and you should have kept it as Don said early on in the thread. Congrats on a fine achievement, stuff the nitpickers! :) |

| I love the frame, the crop, the whole thing. It has such an intensity of not only story, but tones. It truly compelled me. During the jury discussions, there were questions as to whether it was staged or not. I said, no, that it was pure happenstance. I hope I was right. Either way, it was one of my tops from the very beginning. Congrats on your 2nd award! |

| Beautifully toned street image full of strong content. It gets a 9 from me in spite of the bars that seriously trivialize the othewise powerful visual impression. It could have been a 10. |

What a piece of Cuba.
And what a clever title.
Excellent as for concept, capture and rendition.
Is this art? I guess one of the many species of art.
Does it matter? Not to me, you have such a memorable image here.
I would score it the same in any challenge.
10 as it doesn't go to 11 |

| I like this image the best in the whole lot of entries. Why? I like the subjects, processing, location where it was shot, composition and an emotion that it triggers on me as a viewer. I am not sure why you did not include the car completely. If I should guess, may be because you wanted the emphasis to be on the person rather than the car? The distant fog gives a sense of early morning time and adds to the moody feel. |

Voted earlier coming back to comment.
Absolutely LOVE the mood and capture of meaning in this photo. The car has always been a symbol of freedom and spirit of adventure. It is a means to get from one place to another. The juxtaposition of the car next to the man in the wheelchair speaks to me that he has the means to be free from any limitations life sets upon him and the ability to set out on an adventure wherever he sets his mind to. Where there is a strong will and a means of travel there is a way to get to your destination. I really hope to see this in the top 5. Spectacular capture and the B&W processing is just stunning (10). |

| Amazing catch! Probably my favorite in the challenge and I've just started voting. The bottom crop is a little unusual but seems to work fine. Having the car touch the frame edge brings it closer to the viewer and maybe that's part of what you wanted. |
