Didn't vote but was looking over a friend's shoulder while he did and this was one of my absolute favourites... he thought I was weird... I'm glad it ranked so highly as it's an unusual portrait yet very striking (to me). |

WOW
I don't know what to say. I was dreaming about a ribbon whole night. But well, not this time. I's just so strange I didn't think much of that photo when I was doing it. Just a sudden idea while driving and yes taking photos.
And about the risk of beeing on the middle of the road. There wasn't so much risk since I saw just 4 or 5 cars while I was doing it and that was perhaps around 20 minutes.
I want to thank all the voters and those sixty something commenters who commented on my photo during the challenge.
But I think it is unfair to have a photo voted 7.3 something but no ribbon at all! |

you brave soul
the background adds character and originality, not to mention a bit of texture from the road, very cool. |

I does appear that your legs have dropped off though, I hope you find them again ; ) |

Sassy! Interesting take on portraiture. Love the way you make the centered composition work to advantage. Clean colors, wonderful texture--how could this be more perfect? Good luck in the challenge to one of my top picks. |

WOW. I think you did a great job with the wide angle perspective shot. The sky adds a lot of mood (cold), and the idea of lying in the road is brilliant. Other than the title, there is nothing negative about this image. |

One of my favourites of the challenge. The perspective draws all the attention to the subject and provides a great contrast (cold surrounding, warm body). |

Here's a road less travelled. Purposefully static, empty, and cold. A lonely soul in an empty , cold world. That's what I see. But wait, the subject is smirking. Okay, I'm confused. Well, I thought the snow should have been whiter, anyway. |

This is indeed one of the most dynamic images in this challenge. The sensation is of a man flying. Had you extended your arms it would have completed the effect, but yes, this was not the intent. That is just my flight of fancy.
I am more than pleased with the effect and the image fits and exceeds the challenge. Funny, I thought I had a good image and have been humbled after looking at all these outstanding images. Bumping up another notch. |

I like it...kinda seems like I'm being cheated because it's the elements of the landscape which I like about this photo. As far as a self-portrait, I'm not seeing much of a human element in this photo...but if I looked long enough, I might find it. I'm torn between giving it a 9 and giving it a 5...I might come back to this. In the meantime, it's a 7. Either way, great photo! |

Wow, that does look cold! I usually don't like symetrical shots like this, but I do in this case. The dark sky and the frosted road create a very moody image. Your pose and expression are perfect. A smile just wouldn't work as well. Nicely done.

Clever! Super clever! Are you a speed bump? ;)
I'm giving you a ten for these reasons:
1. The photo is excellent. Technically sound. Crisp details. Perfect composition.
2. It's unique, the setting/environment is beautiful.
3. You're fucking brave! ahahah
Good luck! I hope this finishes up top :) |
