I Can Block the Sun with my Hand

I looked over the top scoring images of the challenge. I looked where my image placed. I looked where my top scores (including this) placed. And I just have to wonder why I'm here. No, I know I'm here for images such as this. But I also know, with the results of this challenge, that I must understand that voters really annoy me. This should have placed near the top way above my image, which in retrospect seems so trite. But I will stay for moments such as this. Thank you.

Its hard to believe how many people have such preconceptions of 'wedding' photos (happy couple?) and the belief that this is a wedding photo in the first place. The image is great as is, voters just don't know how to get out of their box.

love this. Wish it was cropped on the left just a little. Wish it was bigger. :P Would love to see the fine detail. Excellent capture from what I see. 8 - good luck in the challenge!

well taken macro. Excellent focus - I know how difficult that is. Clear, bright colors and great detail.

just a touch more contrast would have pushed this over the edge for me. Nice as it is though. I like it.

excellent conversion to B&W and great lighting. POV perfect, focus and DOF spot on. Well done.

cute little house. I think the lack of contrast and strange vignetting takes away fromt he quality of the image.

I didn't vote on this challenge, didn't even look at these, but I wish I had. Most people would have moved the wood. Too bad for them. You picked the perfect spot at usual. You really need to lend me some of your patience. Excellent image, excellent timing, excellent editing, excellent eye...is that enough? ;) Excellent title too, by the way. :)
