Absolutely gorgeous! I didn't vote in the challenge so I'm only seeing it now for the first time. Wow! Instant favorite for me!

Really an amazing shot, highly deserving of the blue ribbon. Excellent detail and lighting! What's even more amazing is seeing what lens you used and how close you must've been to the usually very skittish subject! I would've guessed you were using at least a 300mm prime lens to get so close with such outstanding detail. Very nice work, congratulations!

Really nice shot! Excellent job of "waiting for the light." Nice use of texture throughout, and the little bit of sunlight top right is a nice touch.

Really great capture here. The composition is excellent, and the connection with the orangutan is superb, almost as if he was posing for you. Nice work!

Looks really nice, making me hungry! I like the background elements a lot, it really completes the scene. One thing I would try is to turn the plate counter-clockwise a bit, so the cake is pointing to the 4 to 5 o'clock position, it would give a better view of the cake and subliminally lead the viewer right up to the rasberries in the back. Great lighting too.

Looks like Newport Harbor from Balboa? Incredible capture there, I love how the bolts of lightning framing Balboa Pavillion. Nice job!

Nice shot, really makes one want to go there. The mountains and architecture really give a nice sense of scale to each other. I wish there were just a little more to view underneath the hotel (or whatever it is), but just a minor nitpick in a beautiful photo.

Beautiful shot Neil! The curved tail is awesome, that must've been quite a sight to see! Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations Eden! Excellent lighting and composition. She's very connected with the camera and her emotions spill into the photo (hope that makes sense).

Ken, you absolutely amaze me, over and over again. This is CLASSIC! I should forward this to the bigshots here at WB and see if they can cut you a deal... nah, on second thought, I need my job! :-) You have the creativity and talent for it though. Keep 'em coming!
