Thank you, all, for the kind words.

Echoing Matt's words, there were so many good pictures in the challenge, I didn't think this would come in the top 3. Thank you again.

Gina, it's beautiful. It would look very good framed.

Added later: I'd never thought of taking pictures of people with these camera settings - I'd thought if it as "printed matter" pictures, or as architecture abstracts. This gives me a whole new set of ideas :)))

Congratulations!!! Excellent, I love how the lines of the tree in the background emphasize the "action" of this shot.

Nice, I like it. One thing though, at least on my computer screen, the dark portion of the hair (towards the back) makes it look like he's wearing a little yarmulka (sp?). The skintones and the eyes are really good. I'm so glad you didn't use the "glow" effect that is so common now, together with the "plastified" skin - it's much better this way.

Lemon Bubbles

Nice variation, love the bubbles! A couple nitpicks: The white is rather blotchy, in particular at the bottom left. The black/white division is not straight down the middle (and that hurst the picture). There is a grayish "glow" around the glass in the black area. The focus seems to be a bit off.

hmmm ... have I seen these glasses before? Arranged differently? Nice. One nitpick: the line below the glasses - it would be nice if it weren't there (free edit challenge, you could clone it out :)
