Thanks for sharing the techniques. They are very clever and will be useful. You have an amazing imagination. And I admire your ability to think it all out in advance.

The alley is very interesting and quite exciting. The tilt adds to that effect. But what I find the most interesting is the woman entering the alley. I wonder if this would have scored better if you had caller it "The Alley". The title should't matter, but it would have given the image a different emphasis. Btw, I like it.

I think this is the best hummingbird shot I've ever seen -- and I've seen a lot. But hey, two blue ribbons in a row? You've got to be stopped. ;) Congratulations.

Wow, no comments during voting. You get this special ribbon to use on your profile page, if you want it.

I like your photo a lot, the b&w conversion is very nice, and I think the use of partial color is perfect for this. Without it, the boy could have blended into the background. I like the curve of the bridge with its lines leading right to the focal point. And there is a lot of nostalgia in the shot. Really very nice. It's the sort of image that asks you to stop and stay awhile -- unfortunately voters here don't do that.
