| I would like to let everyone here know that I owe Dr. Confuser a huge apology. I sent him a personal message and it was a complete misunderstanding on my part. His reply to me spoke volumes about this integrity and his character and I would like to humbly apologize for my rude and obnoxious commentary. Thank you all |

Sorry, I honestly didn't mean to offend you. On reviewing my comment, I can see how it could be interpreted as mean spirited; especially the last sentence. That was not my intent. When a person writes, it's not always possible to tell their "tone of voice." I am a very direct person. And my directness sometimes gets me into trouble as it did in this case. Since voting is anonymous, I won't know a photo is yours and therefore won't be able to avoid commenting on your specific challenge entries. But I will try harder to keep my comments more constructive. |

| This is an awesome image. Very arty and inspired. I'm not fond of the title, but that is minor. Too bad this wasn't more appreciated. |

I liked this shot, as you have probably noticed it will not please most of the people here - if it is not sharp and perfectly exposed you will get negative feedback. However there are a good number of people here who look at photos differently and appreciate the efforts of people like yourself.
Edit to add - dont apologise for your style of photography, shoot how you want to shoot and dont worry what others may say.

I deeply appreciate the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism that the image received. I am well aware of the "technical issues". It was an experiment that I thought came out much improved and rather interesting. I don't believe I have monitor issues, though. I had a print made of this and it came out very, very close to what I see. Remember that the web has an extremely tiny color space and the version I posted has all EXIF and MetaData stripped. Thanks again for the constructive input
As for the rest of you, I apologize for not posting images just like everyone else does. I prefer to try to be unique in what I do. If I wanted the image to appear like all of the others I see in here, I wouldn't bother! The point of doing this for me is to experiment and to try new things! If one is too scared to try anything new, then one shouldn't criticize those who do!

Ya know what? I really like this. I like how it isn't technically 'perfect' and is at least something different and out of the norm and i suspect, against the grain of DPC where it's super polished, slick advertisement-looking pictures, not that there's anything wrong with them, but I find it refreshing when someone suibmits a picture like this, that is not worried about the technicals, but still comes out pretty good and looking like a pop-art pic.
I don't really like the grey in there but I love the texturing on the floor, but i'm like that.
Don't worry about the votes, it's a nice pic. Put it in b/w and it would give it a whole new dimension. |

| You might want to check your monitor, I can see quite a few overexposed areas, but most importantly on the face. Unless this is an effect you were going for. |

| mmm, you have some serious technical issues on a nice candid shot. The highlights are overexposed, and the colours seem oversaturated. |

The look is interesting. The composition could use a little work. Perhaps if the bar wasn't running behind her head, you would focus more on the girl.
Edit: For typo

| Good attempt. Looks like lots of detail was just lost. |

| This shows that there is only so much you can do to rescue a poor picture. |
