Awesome range of tones. The cloud formation in the background is the sugar coating :) One of my favorites from this challenge.

Great shot. The exposure, tones, composition, everything ... is very eye pleasing. 10!

Cherry Blossoms

A serene eye pleasing capture. Really like how you managed to isolate the blossom bunch so well. The overcast light gives the shot a nice softness. Nice that the sky isn't all grey or white, it doesn't compete with the buds. Perhaps a nice place to come back to during a sunrise/sunset to get some nice colors in the sky as well or during a clear day too, just to see a nice high contrast look too.

No colorful bugs out or flowers in bloom here yet pffffft.

Absolutely love this. Would've loved to see it place in the top10, at least! Still, top15 is good though, in a Free Study :)

Congratulations on the ribbon :)
Had a hint this was yours but wasn't too sure. I like this shot but like your "The Gift" shot much more.

I like it! reminds me a scene from a well known sci-fi flick. Just can't remember which film that is at the moment. It might be Superman with the outer cave crystals set against the pretty colored sky? :)

What a very interesting and unique viewpoint. A very nicely put together shot. All the components come together very well. *bumping up*

Very nice work here. Really like the lighting coming in from the top and the model's pose. Though I would've liked more empty space at the top.
