Only just saw this - this f**king rocks MAK! The ribbon is nice but seriously, this is one of those 'above ribboning' shots. Innovative, wickedly executed and maximum impact. I don't think the contrast is overdone at all...very stylish. Kickass work dude... |

Marac, this image has it all. It succeeds at a level far beyond the usual DPC "look", conveying its message with incredible intensity. You've transcended the challenge and created "art" using the theme as a springboard. For what it's worth, I have no quarrel with the double-exposure issue; I'm well aware of how much work went into making this one work :-) |

Congrats on a great image Marac...I would have to say I think it was right on the border as far as being in the rules, but if it's legal, then it's legal, and a worthy ribbon winner...perfect execution |

You followed the rules as set for the challenge. I really can't understand why people complain. You clearly show patience. Great job. |

Thanks mate YES it has been validated and was validated during the challenge. I am happy to get the second ribbon I just hope my luck can hold out longer so I can maybe get another soon. |

I pm'd SC a couple of weeks ago and they said the rule "create your entry from a single capture" takes precedence over the "you may" section of anything in camera. I had a similar idea and since I am a new D200 owner was looking forward to this feature as well. Bummer. |

Very striking as well as technically brilliant, i would be very interested to see how this was done? I'm guessing kind of double exposure with part covered lens? It's a great potrait even without that element so i think you'll do very well |

That looks very unusual. It kind of hurts my brain if I stare at it. Well executed. I feel that a bit less beard on the woman's side would have helped to impart the concept a bit more effectively. The ear gets more attention than it deserves because it is so bright. (Unless your message is that we should listen to each other more.) At first I didn't like this image but it has kept me looking at it and thinking longer than any other image I've ever seen on this site. This one is right up with the winners for me. |

A disturbing image, very well executed and lit. Perhaps a bit oversharpened, but practically perfect. At least a 2nd place ribbon from me.
