Killer good shot! The composition is complex & satisfying, the light is exceptionally sweet in the foreground. Good luck with it!

IMO the border is destroying this otherwise excellent image. this is especially true on the right side, where I mourn the occluded arch.

I love this for the totally different twist on the "bug macro" posing dilemma. Good luck with it!

Sweet! Wish the yellow umbrella were off center, but that's a nit.

The sky processing on this has gone way too smooth for my tastes.

Bizarre palette! Not sure how I feel about it but it is striking.

This is beautifully processed and wonderfully precise, but it feels way too light in the lower left and middle for me. I wish it were burned down to keep the eye from escaping off the bottom of the image. Sweet work!

Fine way to get your first ribbon, dude! Heartfelt congratulations! That said, I got a chuckle out of this part of your profile:

Preferences:

- I prefer black and white photography
- I tend to like abstract images or images that let me draw my own conclusions
- I prefer natural looking photos, PP'd enough to look good but not to the point of looking computer generated

Let's see; it's color, it's not even remotely abstract, and the effect is 100% computer-generated :-) Funny how that goes, isn't it?

This is not meant negatively at all, seriously, it just made me chuckle at how that goes :-) Love the picture, well-deserved blue.

Bummer about the time/date. Same thing happened to me on what was then my second ribbon, just after I'd gotten the new camera :-( Great shot regardless...
