Snow people

It was the man on the right that did it for me. They were so wonderfully clear and he was just a passing shadow. I wasn't sure if you were panning, or if he was just moving faster, or if it was the depth of field -- I had no idea!

I actually wondered about this one being yours, but it wasn't black and white! Anyway, enough rambling! This was definitely one of my favs of the challenge, and it desperately needs a bluebird!

Absolutely wonderful! I definitely needs a bluebird award!

I would really love to know how much was processing and how much it the photo itself. I really enjoyed the picture, and I'd like to know more about it.

Beautifully done!

I don't usually give bluebirds to top 10s, but this was just too wonderful to pass up. It feels kind of silly to give my award to someone whose profile is as incredible as yours -- but what the heck!

You've just been awarded a bluebird!

One of my favorites! I love the processing and it was such an interesting angle, I had to keep wondering from where you took the picture!

You've been awarded a bluebird!

Usually I don't give bluebirds when people are in the top ten, but I think this is a truly spectacular shot -- it simply has to have a bluebird award!

ok, my husband is looking over my shoulder as I view this one. We both agree that she is good and we both like the red very much. There's something not right with his legs. My husband says that they both disappear in a black blob. I just don't like them cut off at the knee. Perhaps if the one leg was bent more to get more definition, or if they were bent back behind. Something just feels very awkward with him, the pose and the crop. She is great, though. I agree, though, there doesn't seem to be anything between the two. She actually looks like she could be a little upset, but he's just oblivious. Oh wait, I guess it is realistic! :P

Very lovely. I agree, the hair is perfectly placed and adds so much to the picture. wonderfully done.

Are you there?

I can't tell what I think of this. It's almost as if the right eye is just too sharp for the rest of the picture. I guess I would have liked a softer focus if you were going to cut off the depth of field that quickly. The lighting and pose are both absolutely spectacular, however.

This one is very fun! I love the looking out of the tops of her eyes, she looks devilish! Again, I'd crop in a tad from the left (oops, sorry, told that to another person the first time around.) I'd crop in just a tad from the left--it doesn't add much having the empty space.
