I agree you were robbed of a higher spot, this was one of only 2 tens I gave out the whole challenge, great job for any entry and even greater for a first entry. Welcome to the madness that is DPC and thanks for the comment on my fresh new rain pic.

I must admit that I believe you were robbed. Although 85th percentile rocks on any day of the week. 26th place and a score north of 6 for your first entry (any entry for that matter) is just plain awesome. Well done. Adding this pic to my favorites.

The perpective on this is so captivating, I think the dancers are dolls and I can almost see the stand I think, great forethought and execution either way, you get a 10 from me!

This is the most effective rendering of a "fantasy" effect. Remarkable placement of those tiny dancers. 7.

I like the formations on the rock but the blown highlights overpower.

I like the little yoga people. They add nice scale to the shot. And there seems to be a nice mist coming off of the water. Well done

That is really cool, wonderful warmth and solitude.

Its so wierd that tree looks like a lady stretching with her leg clasped to her arm.

Awesome shot.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/23/2006 11:47:41 PM
this is great... there is something not quite right with the scale in my opinion, however.

oh well...lovely colors and tones :)

Stunning.... are those people or statues down there?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/23/2006 09:26:18 AM
Is that a couple people doing yoga on the rocks?? At any rate, very nicely captured photo!

Very nicely done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/22/2006 06:47:03 PM
Interesting. Don't care much for the flare, maybe waited until the sun dropped just a bit more or shifted slightly. Is this an extremely wide angle, trying to figure out if the figures are really people or not.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/22/2006 06:16:45 PM
the two figures gives it that perfect touch.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/22/2006 06:14:53 PM
Relaxing!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/22/2006 11:56:05 AM
Wow! Gorgeous! The glow of the sun and sky, and the surreal misty look of the water are truly fabulous. Wait! Are those really people on the rock? I didn't even see them until now. It's like Where's Waldo, kind of. :) But really, are those statues, or real people??

This could be a real winner.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/21/2006 06:23:13 PM
how long did they hold the poses? nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/21/2006 06:09:52 PM
If these are real people... I'm real impressed!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/21/2006 04:03:52 PM
Wow! A few seconds less and it would have been perfect!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/21/2006 10:32:27 AM
I almost missed the people when I first looked at this. They're a neat touch and add to the serenity of the shot. Well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/21/2006 08:11:04 AM
Nice shot, the flare around the sun that crosses over the horizon bothers me a bit though and I think I would have liked an "after the sun goes below the horizion" shot better, would have given you a chance of an even longer shutter, softer and brighter dark areas of the photo and given it more of an balance. Still nice, don´t get me wrong so I gave it a 6.

The colour doesn't really evoke a sense of calm.

A difficult pose to hold for 30 seconds. I like the misty rocks in the foreground, and the general Oregonian ambience. ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/21/2006 02:52:45 AM
Are they real people ? If so I'm impressed they can hold a pose for so long. Tricky shot to expose correctly but looks like you've found a happy medium.
