| sorry I missed this masterpiece long ago in March 2009, with such a large field and this stand alone wonder, nicely done by one of DPCs true brown ribbon grandmasters! |

| I think this is a bit of a cheat. Some of your other brown ribbons have had better wit and displayed a more subtle response to the challenge than this, and yet you carry off the hardest of all browns with pure technique? tisk tisk tisk. |

| It's a binary thing, so I believe the correct grade for this photo is: 1 (since 0 is not an option). White is on (1); black is off (0). Pity you did not achieve the 1. Voter's lack of understanding IMO. |

Hey Peter you were totally robbed my friend. I loved your sheer cheek with this one.
I thought afterwards that it would have been especially funny if you had incorporated a small rectangle with a red cross in it in the top left hand corner of the image as if the image had failed to load, you could have called it Refresh lol.

| I had originally scored this 6. In retrospect, it deserves to be higher, as an absolutely pluperfect example of its genre, which, while not taken seriously by *most* DPCers, nevertheless is a valid creative expression :-) Besides which, the image absolutely IS flawless. 10 it is... |

I have never given a 1 at DPC; but then you may be gunning for the
brown. So I don't know how are you to be helped.
I would give 5 for creativity on the title.
But a 1 on the total overexposure! Avg = 5+1/2 = 3....Sorry, if it too high! |

| That bright area over on the left side is distracting and pulls the viewers eye away from the subject. It also seems blurred and unclear. I think most of it is due to the use of excessive JPEG compression. Your file size of only 4.3k indicates a highly compressed image and that is what is robbing most of the detail and sharpness from this image. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit. (200k for this one) |

And to think I refreshed this page several times thinking my connection was down!
It's a shame the polar bear and arctic fox are looking away, you could have improved it by making noise so they looked. The igloo is a nice touch, and balances out the image perfectly. A little more sharpening and perhaps a contrast boost, this would have been a winner. |

| Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. Ah! A study in color and symbolism to push/test our perceptions of the world and how we see it right?! When we see white here in this composition we are really seeing Red at 255, Green at 255 and Blue at 255. How can we be seeing the three colors when stereotypically when numbers are high it is an indication of presence!? Yet all we see is white. Perhaps the lens was looking through a prism? Perhaps this is all we want to see in a photo - a flawless presentation absent of anything to mar the surface? Hidden behind it all is the base foundation - the canvas that is pure before anything else is added. But then when one thinks of it the color white symbolizes purity - things in their natural state. Pure, pristine, flawless. |

There are some pretty crappy shots in this challenge, so it will be interesting to see if you make it! I'm gonna give you a 2 since I actually think this is better than a couple of others. |

| Harris K. Telemacher: I like the relationships. I mean, each character has his own story. The puppy is a bit too much, but you have to over look things like that in these kinds of paintings. The way he's *holding* her... it's almost... filthy. I mean, he's about to kiss her and she's pulling away. The way the leg's sort of smashed up against her... Phew... Look how he's painted the blouse sort of translucent. You can just make out her breasts underneath and it's sort of touching him about here. It's really... pretty torrid, don't you think? Then of course you have the onlookers peeking at them from behind the doorway like they're all shocked. They wish. Yeah, I must admit, when I see a photo like this, I get emotionally... erect. |

| thank you for the laugh, to me it's a little over exposed, but the balance is perfect and so is the composition, the flow is also well captured. good one :) |

There, I see one.
No, it's just a hair on my monitor.
Do I need to adjust my screen? |

| WRONG tremendously OVEREXPOSED ... perhaps sepia or brown tint may have been even more obvious. |

| If this is supposed to be an overexposed snowstorm, you've succeeded! I'll give you an extra point for the humorous title, but that doesn't bring your score up very high still :) |
