excellent flower study. DOF is excellent; the petals are sharp where they need to be and blurry where they should be. colors are used to good effect. lighting is strongly directional but not harsh.

this reminds me in a certain way of a picture that DrAchoo took of himself involving briefs. Perhaps you've seen it. Maybe we should have a "self-abasing self portraits" challenge...

//edit: I had managed to spell "challenge" incorrectly

for the challenge, I think you made the right choice. obviously you couldn't have done much better than you did! I like a couple of the other pix quite a bit but their emphasis on 'industrial' is not as strong - here the focus and message are razor sharp and obvious. congratulations on your ribbon for this fine image. the wind-blown smoke/steam is fascinating.

Ursula - of course! This photo could only be yours. I knew you wouldn't disappoint in this challenge! Great processing - a wonderful effect and all the more interesting because I feel this is much darker than most of your imagery.

I sure look forward to whatever commentary you might have made about your setup - this looks like a real creative feat!

nice frost on the bottom of the spoon. Looks like this was a tough shot to get!

I take it that you're illustrating "fork" as in "fork in the road" - it took me a minute to get the link to the challenge. I think that a single fork in the road would have been more illustrative than what looks like part of a switchyard, or what is in any case a more complex arrangement than a branch from one to two lines. overcomplexity is obfuscating your concept.

On your mark ...Get set ......

reminds me of Art Roflmao's "accidental letters" entry - compositionally speaking - this is less appetizing, however
good picture, I like the harsh lighting.
maybe a little too much space at the top, possibly could have been cropped a bit on the left. looks slightly imbalanced.
