"Love" is a very creative concept for this Love challenge. After looking at the image closely, you have come up with a good idea, I wonder how many voter may not have looked this closely to see what the words underneath said.

The photo itself is very clean technically. The focus and lighting both look very good. The coloring of the blood is pretty good, I might try a shade or two darker if possible. I think the photo might be more dramatic if the words were in a black font as opposed to the grey.

I think you are doing an awesome job, look how far you have come from your first two challenges. Keep up the good work!

I really like the concept of this, but I think the execution is abit lacking. Instead of on a plate of glass, I think making a copy and making the copy blood stained might have abit more impact.

Interesting shot, unfortunately you'll get marked down because of the small size by a number of voters. Unfortunately this is spoken from experience. Check out the tutuorial under learn about sizing. Good luck.

Uhhhhh.........do I want to know where this was shot? *grin* A little too "busy" a look and unless I'd read the title......I wouldn't have gotten "exit". But, I love the sense of humor to this!

No no no, please keep thinking of art. Do it for me. Screw the scores. Make me happy! You evoke Man Ray with this shot. I hate the thought of another poetic soul diminished by the DPC grinder.

Congratulations on entering your first challenge :) The challenge description is as follows:

"The fences we are referring to are actual, physical fences; some are decorative, some are protective, some mark boundaries, some are for erosion control. Think about fences, and give us YOUR perspective :-)"

Here at DPC, out-of-the-box interpretations of the topic and description aren't usually great ideas for challenge photos. There are occasions where they do well, but they must have some extremely strong element to pull them above the median score. When a photo requires any significant thought to 'grasp' in a challenge, it is an absolute requirement that the image provide a high level of 'eye candy' to get the viewer to consider your interpretation a little deeper. The high number of photos in any given challenge here keep people from spending more than a couple seconds looking at a photo. With some eye candy in the image, you may get a little more thought about your idea.

Think of a challenge as a 'game' rather than an art competition. It's a game/contest where your own result is handed to you by your competition.

Good luck :)
