THE SOUND OF SILENCE

This is a beautiful image, but I worry that your processing is a bit over the top for DPC, making a lovely photograph into a great drawing. I like it, but think you're going to be disappointed with the votes you get.

Still. . . looking at the photograph under the processing, I have to say that the detail is amazing and the composition is wonderful.

(I should also add that I see why you chose the processing that you did, and I really like your vision here, especially with the bottom left of the border.)

Oh, BTW. . . 9 :)

Great lighting and I really like the use of negative space here. Oh, and the lovely model doesn't hurt either!

Mining. . . what a great idea. . . might even work as a challenge! Of course now I'll be spending the rest of my night going through old photos.

This is a great image, especially considering how it was achieved.

Yep, I would have probably shot this as well, except that I never would have noticed it. :)

This is a beautiful portrait that deserves a place of honor over your mantle. Beautifully done, and I might have to PM you for tips on getting kids to stay still long enough for a shot like this. The lighting is wonderful and the B&W processing is wonderfully done. One of very few 10's I give out.

And a very good one if this image is indicative of the quality of your work. :)

I like the way you managed to expose properly for both sky and sea. The technicals of this shot are very good. I can't help but feel, however that this is a snapshot. I think that feeling is based only on the lovely woman smiling directly into the camera, but it's there nonetheless.

This is a well thought out and wonderfully composed image. Your processing has managed to convey exactly the sense of dreaminess your title suggests.
