Good for you Kelly! Your talent is undeniable, and your modesty and little-girl excitement at winning are so refreshing. I ranked this shot as an *8* and think you absolutely deserve the Blue Ribbon. Congrats!

Great POV.... looks like you must've been in a dinghy?! Great subtle color, exquisitely lit, very well composed. Bump to (9), good luck!

Unlike some here, I'm a sucker for kid shots. She sure does fit the challenge, and I like the portrait a lot. Could be even better IMO if she were shifted a bit right (mine not hers), and I also would prefer to see her feet included in the shot. (7) Bumping to (8) on second pass.... I just LIKE this photo!

Fabulous photo in its own right, and the element of truth and weightiness as it pertains to the challenge gives added impact. Gets a 10 from me.

Awesome macro, I am sure I'm not the only one to wonder if you didn't accidentally enter this in the wrong category. Either way, a fabulous shot!

The Getaway

Oh wow, beautiful! I like the b/w, seems very appropriate with the strong geometrical elements and wonderfully dramatic lighting. The light is awesome, especially her hand being lit and her face peering back into the darkness she's 'escaping'. All parents have seen this look as the toddler scoots for freedom, very universal. Absolutely a 10, and my pick for blue so far.
