What a stunner - that crazy X in the sky is the bomb. I'm glad the horse was mesmerized by you and didn't move. And your notes are hilarious.

Wow - I'm in awe that you took this with the same camera I have. And wow for the photo. And wow for your skills of knowing what to do and executing it so perfectly. I bet the only reason this didn't score higher was the voters thinking: nah, this can't be real...

Yay! Top Ten in FS!! Glad this made up for the - ahem - bird photo. This is the most awesome catch. Go to National Geographic and look around on their site for a way to submit incredible nature photos. I mean - I'm pretty sure that NONE of us have ever seen a dragonfly eat a fly. I didn't even know that flies were on their menu. In any case - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I didn't vote on this challenge, but I did notice this image and thought it was completely brilliant (still do) - had to be yours. You should get a Posthumous Blue for this.

Well, unlike the majority of the voters, I love this - big fan of high-key (see my miserable scoring Jan FS). You've given a good photo an artistic twist and made it visually so much more interesting. The conversion is excellent, too.

Excellent night shot with brilliant colors - the reflection on the snow is just stunning. There might be a few too many elements in the photo to make it flow well. Nonetheless, I feel it's sorely underrated.
