Midhun (?), it's a great photo and I hope you don't mind the placement and those funny votes. I don't have any of those ribbons that other people give away, but I have some beer (or wonderful merlot, if that's your choice), so that's what I can offer you as a recognition for this good work. As for the outakes, they're good also, but with these kind of photos I like when there is a direct look, a stare, which means I really liked the bottom right one. And you should have left the hat on his head even for this shot. I think...

With this attitude you'll do well - it's a nice image, just doesn't meet the challenge. In an appropriate challenge I think it would have done well.

If nothing else, perhaps you have learned, that, when someone asks you "What color is the snow?", or "What color is a night sky void of stars?", you will not be expected to answer, since there are no colors to describe those conditions. So, you have learned something valuable from this challenge, and that is what DPC is all about. Great shot.

Not crazy about the colors, but like the creativity.

Black and white aren't really colours...Looks nice as a black and white photo though.

colours??

Wonderful image, although (strictly speaking) black and white are no colors. The stripes and the spots in the background are rather distracting.

Hmmm, didn't think I'd see a black and white image in a challenge of complementary colors.

You have the distinction of submitting the only B&W image. The only DNMC on this challenge for me.

Absolutely love this. Very inspired and awesome photo. Great high contrast. However, I'm not seeing how it fits the challenge. Since I don't vote down for dnmc's, I won't vote at all. In another challenge this would have been the bomb.
