Oh good grief! This one stunned me. Then, I realized that it must be a garden decoration, right? Please tell me it's just a great decoration and not a real frog LOL It really has impact!

I hope you gave your model a huge meal, a good hot drink, some brandy and a hug? Made me shiver just to look at it! Great shot! :)

Congrats on your new personal best! It is well composed and a really nice touch with the pineapple! I don't think anyone thought to include one. Unfortunately, it's split on which people like this style of processing and which don't. I'm having the same problem. I so want to use the processing but, I know it will bring my score down if I do. :( Congrats again on your new PB! I'm sure that you'll be hitting more and more of them from here on out! :)

ETA: BTW....to get a comment like that from Posthumous, you know that you're doing something right! :)

This is an absolutely stunning shot, Jo! The clarity, the contrast and highlights, the cropping, masking...everything is beautiful!

ETA: I must find out (privately) how you got the petals over the border like that LOL! :)

HA....I didn't guess this was yours! I should have though by the processing, B&W and DOF LOL. It's a Colorcarnival "signature" piece. Beautiful Michelle! Love it and scored it high! :) Congrats on a higher placement in such a tough challenge.

Beautiful photo! I'm glad that it won a ribbon!
Just two questions that I "have" to know now LOL Was it rain or snow (my guess is rain given the background) and secondly, was this taken through a window? :) Just curiosity now. :)
