Absolutely stunning! Beautiful model, and love the angle you've used for the sun, it casts beautiful shadows. The cracked earth is excellent, and the angle you have used perfect. I look forward to seeing who did this one and most definitely adding it to my favourites. Though I have only looked at the thumbnails so far, this looks like being my pick of the challenge. 10+++

What a fantastic model you have there. Very very natural looking, almost candid, rather than poised, yet it is obviously a posed photo. Great lighting, great model, great pose. Love it.

Big congrats to Ivash for the blue ribbon there for the orange challenge.

I also notice it is today's photo of the day on the Australian photo of the day site.

Great stuff :)

Who's that?

Very effective indeed, just the right amount of blur so you see what it is but no detail, and a perfectly crisp background.

Butterfly landing (no added blur in PS)

Quite stunning, the green of that butterfly (I assume that's natural) is astounding. Meets challenge perfectly, and great pic in general. 10

Great idea and nicely executed. I like the selective desaturation here.
