Congrats Margaret, this is definitely an incredible viewpoint. I also like the cold/warm processing, it works greatly! Very good work.

One of the few photos in the challenge that gave me a "home" feeling: great idea on capturing such moment, typical of homes!

I'm usually not fond of architecture shots, but this one is wonderful. I love the power of the lines, the perfect geometry, and obviously the great work on the b&w conversion. My favorite of the challenge.

Thank you, much appreciated.
My gear and photo related stuff is slowly but surely colonizing a room in my house. At first it was supposed to be a library, but now it's more a photo studio with some books on the side ;)

No she's not, I don't have children. Just a random little girl dancing at a wedding party I was invited to.

Well, that's even more impressive. I wouldn't dare to try it this way before a couple additional arms grafts ;-) Congrats again.

Congratulations on your ribbon Karen :-) I love the lighting work on this one, I suspect it is not easy to achieve as it looks. I'd say you used a window and blinds for the patterns, and a softbox for added light on the paper clip, am I about right?

Congratulations William, the bubble is a refreshing addition to the concept: it's the first time I see a soap bubble next to a droplets collision. Also, given your explanations on the timing, I'm sure it required a good amount of work and patience :-)
May I ask what hardware you used for the droplets? Some kind of micro-controller commanding a solenoid valve I suppose?
