| Very cool perspective. I don't think I've seen a better shot taken at that building. |

It happens in life, it happens in DPC. This photo is not less than the top 3 in any sense. I wish you gave it a different title to help viewers solve the puzzle. Congratulations!!

I didn't even see it until I started getting comments about no shadows or people falling off buildings. It wasn't set up to deceive in that sense, just to take advantage of more dramatic and dynamic lines and angles. The original was rotated, but that's just because I preferred the way it appeared, in terms of balance and line. It doesn't really work 'properly' in either orientation, so at that point the decision is mostly arbitrary.
It is a happy accident that many people were confounded by it.
Oh, the tangled webs we weave When we practice to deceive. |

Easily the best in show. Should have won by a mile and then some but I'm sure it confused a lot of people or enough to make the difference. I think if served in a way the crowd could easily make out or digest, it would not have been the same image or half as cool as it is. Really nice work.

| Holy cow, this is a neat photo. The only thing that doesn't appeal to me is the blue, but I suppose the human figure would get lost in the photo without it. Really appealing perspective and a terrific illusion. |

This was great - I gave it a 10. But perhaps hold out for a top 3 DQ... Pity  Spizzer was not in the ribbons this time ;-( |

I love commenters who tell you what you shot - tell you there's no shadows - give me a break! Their limited perspective can't see it so it must be DNMC. You don't need to be outraged about it, I've got enough for both of us.
This is great work - really a "stop you in your tracks" kind of shot. |

| OK, first review was - huh? shadows? Why a girl falling in between sky scrapers? Portrait does not work for me, I guess. Landscape: it is fabulous. Now am I looking at shadows - I think. It is a great photo regardless. I will now turn my monitor back to the correct orientation and continue voting. |

| I'm trying to figure why you put the girl in this shot. I think the score would be higher without her..5. |

| nice capture. At a glance I did not notice most of the "windows" are really shadows here. Not sure if the falling body adds to it...(8) |

| I love the composition on this one. I couldn't figure it out at first but now that I look again, very cool. Everything being off angle really makes you look closely at the photo and see the detail (and there is a lot). Great job - my favorite to win. |

| interesting POV, though the tilt seems a bit heavy. great shadowplay you caught here! the figure in the back is a bit small, I guess that's why you toned her blue - must say that doesn't help the picture... |

| This is truly fantastic. At first I didn't know what I was looking at.....someone falling from a skyscraper it looked like! Not until I tilted my head did I figure it out. Amazing eye you have, this is very creative and I hope you do really well in the challenge! |
