Congratulations to cmurph for the DSS #42 (Photojournalism in B&W) Winning Photo

Llywellyn

What an educational and challenging round! We certainly had some new players join in and many of our regulars stretching their skills in a new genre. It was fantastic to watch from the sidelines.

Your savvy and awesome judges, trevor and VisualXpressions, agreed on six images, giving you fourteen finalists to choose from. Congratulations! :clap

Polls are open for the next 72 hours, and any previously registered member of DGrin may vote.

Man, this is going to be a tough choice. There were three shots that absolutely blew me away and they're all up there. And now I have to figure out which one to vote for.

Congrats to everyone who made the cut!!!

The whole B&W, what defines PJ, Street, etc. discussion surrounding the challenge and the genre. It's always amusing to read everyone's interpretations

Oh... I had no idea...

VisualXpressions

I just read the controversial posts in the DSS 42 entry thread... I really had not read any of it... I answered Dan's post if anyone is interested they can go there and read my comments... The whole thing about the title really cracks me up When I started reviewing the images I thought most of the titles sucked so I totally ignored them... besides a PJ shot would normally come with a cut line that would give the essentials who, what, where, when, and why.

I enjoyed being a judge and thought everyone did a fabulous job as a Photojournalist!

Winston, the biggest issue I kept coming across is many of us simply didnt know what defined PJ, and there were alot of opinions about it.... of course I was the only one that was right(:D just kidding everyone, settle settle.... ), and we slowly came to grips with everything....

you missed one heck of a round...but yet was in the middle of it:D

PM sent for a c&c :-)

AndMan

Wow, thanks to the judges for including my entry in the voting round. No one is more surprised than me that it made the cut given the high standard of entries. Congrats to all the finalists and to all those who took part.

Nikonic1

Voting ends in a few minutes?

Llywellyn

Nope, tomorrow. One more night of restless sleep.

justME

So many good images. Congrats to all that entered and BRAVO to the final images! Loved them. Very hard to pick just one.

cmurph

Indeed another great round thank you judges for including mine. Good luck to all the finalist this one was a fun one

DsrtVW

Need a little controversy to make a challenge exciting. I am happy to make the final cut for the vote. Have been AWOL for a while and not plugged in, hope to change that.
Good luck to all the finalist
