My pick for a ribbon. Love the tones and the reflection of the umbrella in the glasses. Great lighting, and a really understated feel.

I feel that her right thumb would be better out of frame. That said, I love the muted tones of the shot and the chosen DOF.

My pick for a ribbon. Nice to see a different perspective. The black and white works really well for this subject. The depth of field and grain are also spot on.

My pick for a ribbon. This shot has a lot of life in it. The black and white treatment is perfect for the subject. The off-kilter angle also works really well. Not sure if this is staged or candid - if it is candid I like it even more!

My pick for a ribbon. Compositionally great and I love the counterpoint of red, white and green.

The best abstract image I have seen for a very long time. In my top 5.

There is a big dirt speck near the bow of your ship... slightly detracts and easily cloned out in advanced editing.

Absolutely love this shot, and no doubt it will ribbon. Not sure it really meets the challenge though as Posthumous Ribbons are usually saved for those images that are "overlooked" in the voting. I can't ever imagine that this would be overlooked by voters. In a normal challenge I would unfalteringly give this a 10. Wonderfully creative as usual. In this challenge though I'm going to have to knock a few points off. I still believe this will be on the front page though.
