Have read some of the comments you got - and was afraid they would be like this. Grrr, this crowd is beyond me.
How on earth can someone say that this is "not a postcard" ? Have they never travelled?
I really like it, and you can be very proud of it.

This is quite a learning experience for me.
I try to take all the comments seiously and
hopefully get better scores as time goes by.

I really enjoyed this photo and the making of it.
My friend - the model - had me printed it up and
frmed it for her mother for te hoildays.

To me, that already meant a lot.

Thank you all for the input !

another example of voters clubbing a photo because it doesn't fit "their" idea of a postcard.

Go make money with this - you'll feel all kinds of better about this ridiculous score.

:-)

BTW, my scores didn't end up counting since I didn't vote on enough images - but I gave this a 7 - I think it's a great shot and a product could be developed around it.

Hey, don't sweat the result too much. It'd make a very nice notecard. In fact, I suggest you work it up and sell it on DPC Print. :)

DPC voters tend to think very literally about challenges. I see you're pretty new here, so just live and learn.

This is very much a postcard. You are out of the box. 8

Interesting processing. I bet you're getting a lot of DNMC, but I'll go with it as a notecard you might send to someone you love. Nice processing, too!

I thought there would be more cards without landscape in this challenge. Yours is truly excellent.

Cool shot...I really like it. But is it in the spirit of a Poatcard challenge?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

wow...beautiful. Not sure if it meets the challenge, it looks more "canvas" than postcard...but still nice. wish it was more cropped on the top and right side though.

hooray for you, going for a 'fine art' postcard (I was too chicken). most of the postcards I bought to keep for myself are of this fine-art variety & I would've paid for this one. It'd work for a msg because of the pensive feeling. you could've added a bit to the length for a more standard size.

Nice image. Think this would be better as a card cover than a postcard. Think it needs text too!

I really do love this photo but I don't think I would buy it as a postcard.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice artwork, but not much of a postcard. IMO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/22/2006 11:49:38 AM
over-processed, not really in the postcard category. Does not really fit into this challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/22/2006 08:07:32 AM
Love it. It's concise, and cropped perfectly. Great eye. 10

This just doesn't strike me as a postcard in any way, I'm afraid. I can't say I'm fond of the added texture here, either. Too Photoshoppy for my tastes.

Nice Artistic Effect! :)

nice image and treatment. Not sure how it's a postcard though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/21/2006 05:16:27 AM
you obviously have eyes for something else, and you're looking off frame at it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/20/2006 01:17:34 PM
I like the texture and the tones, but not seeing a postcard.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/20/2006 01:03:58 PM
I dont understand your postcard concept, but its a nice photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/20/2006 12:11:18 PM
Creative. Not sure it works for me, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/20/2006 11:25:57 AM
I like this, even though it looks more like a sketch than a photo. It does not remind me of a postcard, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/20/2006 09:55:03 AM
This is a greeting card, not really postcard material

amazing photo ... but I'm having trouble relating it to a postcard ...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beutiful effect!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/20/2006 05:26:51 AM
Unsure if this meets the challenge of a "postcard" - interesting shot, though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/20/2006 05:15:15 AM
This just doesn't convey "Postcard" to me. I like the lines and it looks like a drawing, but the drawing looks more sorrowful than happy or romantic. Score: 5.

11/20/2006 03:27:27 AM
This doesn't look like a postcard to me, sorry
