Gee, the voters are tough when it comes to the Free Study challenges. This deserved better. Beautiful capture.

Beautiful set of photos. Nicely arranged. This will look great in a large print. Let us know how the canvas print turned out.

eta: very nice panoramic effect in the center row.

Michelle, this is exquisite. The light and composition are magical, and the child is the quintessential little girl. Beautiful work.

As far as scoring goes, I think some people might have thought it was more the end of the end rather than the beginning of the end. If only one balloon had deflated that would look more like the beginning of the end. It looks a little over-sharpened, with the halos along the poles, yet the ribbons are a little too soft to give it a lot of impact. Also, I don't think that style border helped. I find it a bit distracting. Little things like that will put the shot into the 5 range which is exactly where this one landed.

I don't quite understand this, but it makes it all the more intriguing and captivating. It is a beautiful image.

Awww, charliebaker beat you out of your brown ribbon. But he was shooting for it, and that's not really fair now, is it.

Either I'm in need of a new pair of glasses, or this image is OOF. I like the bracken and the colors.
