Wonderful angle and perspective. Rainy/overcast day has given this perfect diffused light. Love the post work blur too as it has added a fantastic DoF dimension. Go Aimee, congrats on 4th place! :)

Might be time for a road trip up your ways Gerry :) This is stunning work! Great job on the cloning. If I hadn't read your notes, I wouldn't have known.

Congratulations!!!

Awesome Hannes. I'm completely surprised this didn't ribbon, it was one of my top picks. Absolutely stupendous black and white piece, congratulations on the top 10 finish!

Howdy neighbour! :) Congrats on the top 20 too!

Really liked this and gave you an 8. I think the understated colour was actually a big factor in why I voted highly in the first place and would disagree with the "more saturation" movement. But, different strokes for different folks though, eh? :) Cheers!

Too cool. Wonderful to read the background on this. I'm so glad it ribboned. Congrats on the red!! Very much deserving :)

I'm lucky enough to have a brother-in-law who is completely "off the wall" with his photographic style. He sees amazing things where others see nothing but grain and blur, and he has taught me to look for some of those amazing things too :) In a round-about sort of way, your image reminded me of one of his: music is wrought from base elements with bare hands

Thanks for that Nick! Way to inflate a girl's ego! :) I honestly believe this image truly deserved a much higher placing though. It's not just a picture of something, shot solely as a passing thought, but like a carefully sculpted masterpiece. All the elements strategically placed by an artist to tell a story. Wish I was blessed with your vision and wish other people would try to look a bit harder too sometimes...
