?!?! This picture might not be as elegant, smooth, or flashy as most ribbon winners here, but it is STUNNING and surprising.

I love love LOVE what you did with the processing... seeing the original amazes me as I like it but really am so impressed with what you did.

Oh my GOODNESS I am such a sucker for heart-shaped stones!! And you did WONDERFULLY with the lighting and the composition (the crack is just brilliant).. and this is one of my favorite images EVER.

Hm, the figure on the left of the photo - is that a swim suit with sleeves? Personally I am not comfortable wearing a bikini as most people seem to be, and I'd be interested in something like that.. is there a link to somewhere online that has those? (You can PM me if you'd like).

As for the photo itself it is full of energy and life! It makes me smile to think of how much fun the girls seem to be having.. the happiness is contagous! In addition, great colors, and nice relating to the challenge by having the swim suits be similar patterns. Lighting is nice too.. really makes the water sparkle (and makes me thirsty, hehe!).

This shot doesn't NEED sharpness. That's just what we're USED to seeing. But it is a LOVELY abstract and I am saddned it didn't score higher!!!

Blah. Without the earth in this, it would have been just another landscape. We see those all the time, but you created something unique!! But sometimes that doesn't get rewarded like it should, I suppose.
