Spiraling Down

The spiral just draws you in. And all the folks on it just add to the charm. Great conversion to sepia as well - I would've been disappointed if it were in color and the banisters were glittering gold or something :) A ribbon winner in my book.
My only nit is that the center of the spiral is the center of the picture as well.

Phew! Breathtaking! Very subtle color complement. My top 5.
I don't quite understand why the top tree has an orange cast to its underside - a tungsten bulb out of view?

I sincerely hope voters don't vote it down as a combination of cliches: wine glasses and drop shots.
This one is Amazingly perfect in a number of ways - showing the amount of pain staking work that went into it. A ribbon winner in my book.
I wish DPC didn't have the 300K limit on uploads - I can see some banding (especially in the blue background).

Such a beautiful picture with a wonderfully subtle color complement. A ribbon winner in my book. I just wish the title lived up to the standard set by the picture :)

Hehe - Can't believe I happened to be the only one who nitpicked on the flash hue :)
Congratulations on the blue ribbon - a fantastic shot from a fabulous perspective.
I see a 'Nike' curve on the bridge - Maybe you can make money off this shot ;)

Missed out on a ribbon by 0.05! Way too close - When I last came 5th I was off by miles so I didn't feel bad. Congratulations on a "Personal Best" and "Honorable Mention" on your profile.

That fence is way too cute and the apples are fantastic! There's a lot of depth to the image and I realized after reading your notes how much effort you put into getting that depth into your picture. Something I need to learn since my pic bothered me for lack of depth.
