This truly is an outstanding image, but from a very personal point of view, truly does is not representative of landscape. Congratulations on your ribbon.

You my dear were absolutely robbed.

Considering that the challenge was soft focus, I find it particularly interesting to note that some of the comments made seem to suggest that the image is "too soft".

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and each vote has its merit, but I earnestly believed this image would finish in the first page, and most certainly warranted a much better score and placement.

I like it and have added it to my favourites... it truly is a beautiful image.

Even assuming that the word "extreme" did start with an X, I do seem to recall that after V comes W, at least it does in English. Not a bad image, but I do believe the factor mentioned above with cost you.

I have no idea how you did this, but I do like it. One would almost think it is the work of an impressionist. Good job and good luck.

Absolutely lovely image that should fare well in this challenge. My only nitpick is that I would have cropped the image a bit differently, removing the clock. Might be just me, but I find it a tad distracting. Good luck.

You most certainly have a flair for producing stunning images of food. I am particularly impressed by your ability to have a sharp focus on the primary item of interest, whilst still incorporating background elements, albeit at a different focal length.

As someone previously mentioned, your abilities in this field shine through and make this look like a magazine photo. Very well done indeed.

Love this image and all the time and effort you took to set up the props. If I might make a suggestion, in future you might consider ironing the sheet, it would enhance your image.

I most certainly hope she is stopped... lest she become a casualty.

I absolutely love this and truly hope it does really well in the challenge. This image has an "Impressionism" quality that I have yet to find in any of the other images I have seen to date. You truly have captured the essence of the challenge.
