It's funny, Bob, but often when I see your photos I think of them as being part of a diptych and/or triptych. This one feels like it belongs with the solitary tree photo. I think the pair would complement each other beautifully. I really like the stark processing. You are definitely one of my favorite photogs on this site.

Very interesting lines and textures in this. Very minor nit just in case you decide to print - the frame looks a bit heavy on right and bottom.

This is gorgeous! I'm glad Deb pointed this one out, it is really worth it. The wavy reflections really add a sense of mood to this.

Julianne, what a bummer you didn't get this in! This is simply a beautiful photo. The lighting is fantastic. The only thing that you might play with is the cropping - feels like it could use some reduction on the left so that incredible single blossom on the top pops in the 2/3 position a little more. Great photo!

You REALLY got robbed with this. It was one of my favorites of the challenge. Makes me want to know the person's story.

Bob, GREAT lighting on this. I suspect this wasn't quite 'low key' enough for some of the voters, but this is a really well-done photo.

Great capture - hate it when guys look better in a skirt than I do! :-) You did a really good job with the bokeh, as it gives an excellent sense of place.
