Amazing photo. Seems like an obvious ribbon to me but I'm guessing the lack of eye contact will befuddle the DPC voters.

I think there's supposed to be logic to my ribbon picking, but I swear that the Posthumous blue ribbon usually goes to the image that demands it.

10. An amazing capture to say the least. Even without the title you have conveyed sadness and lost hope. That is what I am getting from the picture. The overwhelming defeat in this picture has been caught. You have done an amazing job.

Wow, this is a very emotional image. Perhaps a little too much contrast. I like how you managed to subtly capture the fencing.
