A shame.... This is many times better than some of the others that scored higher... Keep up the good work Glen and you'll be rewarded!

Glen - you're brave to tell it like it is. I didn't rate this that high personally, but I see why you entered it and why it does have merit. The colors are rich and vivid and it's a street setting that all of us can relate to. Keep doing what you do. Being true to yourself is better than most scores anyway!!!

Heh.. of course, you're right, mk.

At least, in terms of DPC. I personally think the background is what makes this photo. It's a pure candid, and it's supposed to be.

Ah well, I was only making do with what I had shot in November, and it's not likely I'll enter anything stunning when all I shoot in an entire month is 6 lousy little creek waterfalls and one parade.

Looking at the top 10.. I'm more proud of this shot than ever.. because I continue to stick to my own personal principles, even in the face of disastrous scoring. I don't know if I can ever happily be a part of the kind of crowd that loves the shots that won ribbons in this challenge.

You can kick me in the butt later but this isn't one of my favorites of yours. The post processing adds a nice feeling but the background, especially the girl in the pink jacket, is rather distracting. I feel like maybe he's turned a bit too far away from the camera or maybe *is* just too far away for the pose he has. But I still love you.

Very scary...

I bet your getting voted down for this because he's not facing the camera like in a portrait, but I like the candidness of it and the processing and dof rocks.
