    Congratulations Kyle. I knew you had something good.
    This was definately a challenging theme but you knew what you wanted from the get go.


    Congratulations to the top 5 and really to all who competed, there were some awesome entries which didn't make the top five that I absolutely loved also.


    As an aside, this was the first time I've ever purchased anything for a challenge. I wound up getting two books on Kubrick's movies and is one book "Stanley Kubrick, Drama and Shadows: Photography 1945-1950". I think I really overloaded on Kubrick imagery and I wanted to try so many things, in the end, my final image was not what I had imagined I'd end up with, but once I shot it I loved it and was pretty proud of it.

    I truly learned so much with this challenge.

    really nice everyone I am impressed with all of the entries, great work on a hard theme. I feel the need to work much harder seeing this quality of images. I am learning much and really enjoy these challenges. Redball I really liked! I love dogs and it was a nice twist on the theme. SimpsonBrothers amazing, again.

    My congratulations to SimpsonBrothers on the winning photo and to the other well deserved winners in the top 5. Really, it was quite a challenge and the by-product (apart from the gallery of very creative, quality images) was the educational aspect of learning about Kubrick. Thank you all for the inspiration you deliver through your posts and submissions. I'm still pretty new here and can see I have a lot to learn!

    BTW: I too spent some money on the last challenge - I bought a bier in the bar where I found my models rolleyes1.gif
