Like looking back in time. I like the PP and how much of the soft effect was achieved. Only nitpick is the sliver of furniture sticking out into the bottom left side of the frame.

I really like this shot, but just not for this challenge. Though the background is in soft focus(more like completely out of focus) the subject is not and I don't see how this is specific to the challenge at hand. This looks great for basic editing. Great job with the lighting. Keep posting :)

A Midsummer "day's" Dream

Very nicely composed image. I like it, but the glow/softness is a tad overdone here.

Such a cheery and summery shot. Just looking at this makes me smile.

My top3 fave. Good luck! :)
A wonderful angelic shot. What a sweatie pie. Only nitpick is the bright highlights of the skirt but it's basic editing, so I see how it can be a toughy to apply whole shot contrast adjustments. Any tips you might have on the PP or how you achieved the softness would be an appreciated read. Thanks m8.

Congratulations on attaining the trifecta :)
A magical looking shot. I'm very glad you hit the 7's. Cheers!

This is very pretty and delicate. Can't believe you folks already have damsels flying about, so lucky :) Wonderful you do get them this early on. We don't have ponds around here so that might be it. I'm lucky if I find one during the summer months. They're so fun to photograph. I must look looney, when I see one I rush in to grab the cam and rush out saying I'm going to shoot me some damsels LOL.

This has story written all over it. Like a scene taken out from a film. Reminds of many of the classic type coming of age films.

Good going making the top20. Really like this shot. I must say the 2nd page looks very good, and you're in good company with Mak's, Tim's, Wenders' and Armin's fine shots.

Great presentation :)
Really like the PP on the image as well. I like viewing the shot from right to left, which is nice. Only one nitpick, about the background in photo, wish it blended into the white background much smoother. With no definite line. Now it has two, or even three actually.
