Nice capture! DOF really works well and the lighting is excellent.

Putting a fill light on the left would fill in the shadows a little and your key light is pretty hard. You could soften it up a little with a diffusion like maybe some wax paper and you'd still have some nice highlights that are a little softer. Nice composition and choice of colorful healthy food.

I didn't vote in the challenge and only made one comment (on yours) and I did look at every image in the challenge at full size (not just thumbs). I was really taken by this shot right away and the ribbon is well deserved!! When an image keeps me looking at it for a long time then in my mind that is a great image. WTG!!

WOW!! I just took a peak through this challenge "just to look" and I stopped here for quite some time. At first I saw one face in the "road" then I saw more then I saw a woman standing near the tree in the foreground then.... well I just kept finding faces. Some clear and some skewed; some skull like and some normal everyday faces. Maybe its just me and I'm seeing things but I had to let you know that I love this. It definately meets the challenge in my eyes and if I were voting you'd have a 10. WTG!!

This was one of my favorites in the challenge. I'm surprised it didn't finish higher.

Very beautiful little girl you have there and a shot to be proud of and to hang on the wall. Not a bad finish either.

congrats... well deserved!
I didn't vote but did look through all the thumbs and your shot grabbed me right away just from the thumbnail as a ribbon winner.

Very nice!! Looks like they're dancing and don't care who's watching.

I didn't get enough votes in to make my 10 vote count for you but it was so obviously a ribbon shot that it seems my vote didn't matter anyhow. CONGRATS on a WELL DESERVED BLUE!!!!

If I find the time to vote on enough to make it count for you... you have a 10 from me. Not just because stopping the motion of a hummingbirds wings captures the challenge perfectly. But the shot is also a very good one with very nice tones and colors. The shallow dof really makes this birds beauty stand out and it's cropped very nice too. If it isn't the blue ribbon then it should be.
