    I voted for the one that best fit the cliche .. it was obvious, and a photograph that wasn't layered in any way that showed what I thought was the best photography skill.

    good luck!

    Some great entries, but I must admit I still didn't get two of the cliches, maybe because I'm a Brit and something is lost in translation. An American friend explained one to me, but the other is still a mystery, or is it just me?

    Congratulations WhatSheSaw for the DSS #54 (Visual Cliché) Winning Photo!
    How about a quote instead of a cliché to announce the top 6 winners in this round.
    "History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats." Bertie C. Forbes

    A big congratulations goes to WhatSheSaw for:
