My submission for Vanish, until I realized it had been 'Changed' 30 minutes before I went to submit. Oh well. Thought it was one of my best submissions yet... April Fools! (not on my opinion, on the submitting part)

BTW, the blurring of my daughter's face is at my wife's request, it wouldn't have been blurred in the contest image. And yes, all the info is faked.

this really is a great shot, too bad you missed it.

Ahhh.. Proof that even in "expert" editing you don't need to look like you just finished your first week of a graphic design beginner course in order to get people to notice your work.

It's unfortunate you missed, I'd have loved to have seen this on the front page.

Most excellent shot here with good use of toning to evoke emotion. Excellent use of light and shadow - I read the photog comments regarding the blurring and think it would have been stronger without the blurring although I understand. Very nice work.

A beautiful and emotive image! Choice of limited monotone really adds to the feeling of mystery. It seems so poetic and story-like. Even without a (proper) title one has a sense of what is happening here.

Oddly, the blurred face seems to add to the story...maybe if the entire image on the flier were blurred...it would make me think that the father/man was glossy-eyed in un-belief that this could be his daughter.

Certainly a wonderfully serious expression given the odd elements of the challenge topic! Sometimes the simple, unconnected pieces of ideas bring out the best in the author, no?

I would have been pleased to give this a very high score. It is technically and poetically very pleasing.

I would have given it a 10....but then again I did give every photo in that challenge a 10 because I was pissed off that I didn't get a chance to enter my shot!

Seriously, though, this is an excellent shot. I didn't take advantage of the expert editing rules but you did and did it well. I was literal in my interpretation of the challenge and did not include any extra items, just the 4 that were mentioned. Kudos to you for thinking outside the box.

Very well done. I like the tones.

Doh!

And then I see rumors about reopening the challenge (I doubt it will happen though), but since I've posted this, I'm prevented from submitting it anyway.

Thanks for the feedback though!

This would have been one of my ribbon votes. Nicely done.
04/01/2007 07:02:58 PM
great shot.....I think IMO that you would have got a ribbon on this one.

This would have placed pretty high. Its a shame you missed the challenge.
