I just found this! Congratulations on your noble gesture, easily worthy of Sydney Carton.

I just love looking at the votes. 57 x 1s, and 67 x 2s & 3s. Do you realize that that means nearly 60% of the voters thought ... er, thought ... well, thought nothing at all, presumably. Can you imagine being like that? What must the world look like to such people?

ETA: All Our Yesterdays is a beautiful title.

It is so funny how an artistic shot will get killed on DPC. This is a cool idea and one that I would like to explore more in the future.

A wonderful abstraction, fuzzy morning memories.

Congratulations on your first ZP/IR ribbon, Karen! Monkey or Bear?

You should definitely get the OOBIE for this one.

This is lovely. I see the monkey!

Ha! I love the sentiment, if not quite the photo (and you know how much I love your imagery).

But tell ya what: you bring this plateless thing to the DC GTG on Sept. 13, and I'll use it for a photo. :)

I always like literal, tongue in cheek responses to challenges. This certainly is the 'road less traveled'!

You get a 10 from me, and Ill be damned if this doesnt win

Your approach is too contextual to DPC. If the image were good,...

cant argue with that. this would also have been appropriate for bw abstract. i hope that thing in the chair is stuffed! nice light btw, and nice comp. back to say, this has great mood. it's like what you might see upon waking up, if you share your bedroom with a sock monkey.

Full marks for the statement and interpretation (I've no doubt you're getting punished for it though). Is that a teddy on the chair?

Good, good...

Pretty darn sharp for no lens! This technique also hides sensor dust well.

Dead on. That's certainly the less traveled road, and not only on dpc.

I guess this is a technical road less travelled.

Interesting take on the topic, I'll give you bonus points for that.

Not for me. Don't like the out of focus shot. Just looks like a mess.

doesn't do it 4 me

definitely a road less travelled. Creative take to the challenge

I am assuming you did this using a pinhole in the center of the camera cap and hence the title, so, I'll give you a 6 just for the effort. I am afraid most other voters will be less generous. I always wanted to try this but thought the image would be sharper.
