This is much better than people give it credit for; there is a depth and feel to the shop that most did not see-to their own detriment.

Now if only more people would take the time to look and think, the world would be a better place (did I say that?) well certainly you'd at least have a deserving score.

This is very pretty. It's like she's going ice skating in her bare feet.

Sorry, Ben, you've used up your ribbon quota for this month, but a nice high score for this shot.

I don't get this.. Where's the object? Is it just her? I'm really confused.

This obviously meets the challenge, since a shadow, more often than not, has some similarity to the body it is a shadow of. This is usually pretty trivial, but here however, I find that the motion blur is actually the true counterpart of the body. It is as graceful and subtle and is flowing just like her foot. So the way I see it, you meet the challenge two ways, which is not trivial at all.

Thanks for making me stop and think.

Achingly lovely. The voluptuous female torso curve drawn with just the shadow of a quite different body part is beautiful. A lesson in comprehension, vision and restraint. If only you could pass them around. My top pick.

Images like this make me wish there were an abstract branch of DPC. Is this you, Ben? Such musicality and movement, and just enough of a hint to make me want to chase it.
