This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 10s - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. This looks so perfect to me that I wonder whether it is actually a painting - I've never seen the like of of this on DPC before.
2. Astonishing lighting
3. The whole sense of grandeur
4. The restrained colour palette
5. The details in the shadows

Overall, a staggering image to have constructed - normally I'd have been put off by the tone mapping and what appears to be smoothed skin but the overall paintingesque effect emerges from those choices so I can't claim it doesn't work. Very interested to find out who shot this.

I seldom see this kind of shot and the quality that goes with it in the website. I am very much interested who the photographer is.
