Congratulations! The photos are lovely, and the triptych is nicely composed. These are great low key examples.

This is a stunningly beautiful scene. Your processing is masterful. Good luck with the validation. I was fortunate to read a warning about rotating an image in Windows viewer. Who would guess, but I tried an experiment and the file size actually changed. Congratulation on the ribbon, I hope you get to keep it.

Wow, look at this. Congratulations Jeb. I've been without a computer for a few weeks, and just discovered this yellow ribbon winner. Great photo -- love the processing. I'm happy for you.

Andres, it was wonderful meeting you today, and since my computer is broken, I didn't even realize you had just won a blue ribbon. I wish I had known so I could have congratulated you in person. This looks like a great photo on my iPhone. I can't wait til I can see it full sized.

This is really very pretty. I like the texture and colors. It might make a nice overlay too. A lot of the voters don't seem to like having to use their imagination. :)

Wow, how did you capture a flying object with manual focus? Or was it already captured by a spider web? jk :) I think the colors are wonderful. Don't know why you're down here in the basement.

Yes your title would have fit mine well. I think it's a funny play on words. (I'm dislexic and do that kind of reversal all the time. :))

I'm totally surprised by this score. I would have said it would have scored at least in the high 5s. I really don't understand the 24 votes below 4. For what it's worth, I like it.

I do wonder how they manage to navigate the tree branches. This is an interesting shot. Not at all the usual for a green heron.
