Hello okiesisi Sorry I missed you on my little attempt to comment on all of the shots for this challenge. As for the shot. I fully understand the separation that you are portraying in this shot. I was in the military for seveal years and can fully understand the pain and anguish that the military spouse feel when ther loved ones are away.I think your shot may have been hurt a little bit in score for two reasons one Like you stated in your PM just not real exiting. Two you probably lost a little bit from the foreign voters. I doubt that they would have any idea what a yellow ribbon stands for. This was very wel shor none the less. Good color and sharpness. However due to the unexiting objects in the shot I feel you might have done a bit better playing around with gaussian blur, or a pin hole lens. This would have enhanced the shot a bit disguising the mundane aspects, and perhaps enhancing the technical aspects of the shot. I ended up giving this a 4. Solely on the fact that it lacked excitement or interest. On the bright side however as I stated earlier however this was very well shot.
