OMG .. what's going on here in dpc ..
this is STUNNING .. !!! ..
it appears i didnt get to vote but it would have got at least an 8 ..
lots of stuff going on for me .. had elbow surgery on friday .. they removed metal out of my arm .. and thats a long story ..
wish i had voted .. it deserved a heap more love than it got ..
the colours .. the whimsy .. the crazy details .. and of course the general feel ... all very attractive and wonderful ..
commiserations on this one .. luckily for you its not often you get so unappreciated .. xx

Amanda .. not one comment .. whattha .. !! ..
this is SO cute .. really cant understand the bad reception ..
felt it would go really well .. at least top 10 or better ..
results here in dpc are often confounding .. i'm in the process of trying to accept it all .. sometimes a difficult endeavour .. but where this came in the line-up i find quite disappointing ..
commiserations .. and hugs coming your way .. xx

i did think of you when i viewed this in voting .. thought it deserved to be up there with the top ones ..
but this is a photography site Marion .. lol .. and turning your photographs into graphic art is often frowned upon .. :(
i'm all for going where others fear to go .. altho i do like for my photos to be appreciated .. bit of a quandary .. do i step out and get creative knowing it will probably be unappreciated or do i go with something i feel will get me higher votes ..
sometimes the two go hand in hand ..
anyway .. you have some wonderful images here in dpc where you have got extremely creative .. i love 'em .. :)

i think even with all the other excellent images that ppl entered in this challenge .. this one was up there as something so full of personality and whimsy .. it left all the others behind ..
its FANTASTIC .. !! ..
i dont think it looks pasted together .. it all fits ..
you have such a connection to your creativity .. its wonderful to see what you come up with ..
usually unique and usually something with such character .. :)

its a lovely dramatic black and white image ..
its interesting how ppl view our photos ..
usually i just go by a gut feeling .. does it speak to me .. do i feel awe .. etc etc .
if i was wanting to know your setup it would be only to reproduce it myself .. as a learning thing ..
anyway .. many congratulations on your ribbon .. :)

The Local Watering Hole

i love this one as much .. if not more .. than the other one you entered with the bee flying .. crazy the difference in the final score ..
i'm especially loving the tones in this one and how incredibly sharp and clear the bees are .. and of course the magic reflection .. i gave you a 9 btw .. was one of my very favs in the challenge ..
many congrats on the ribbon .. :)

just looking through the challenge and this one intrigued me as a thumb .. so i opened it ..
BLOWN AWAY .. !!! ..
i can imagine this could get the blue .. altho i havent opened any others yet .. but its so stunning and unusual and perfect in every way .. even the placement of the trees .. the shadows .. the colouring ..
its yelling out to be printed and hung somewhere ppl can truly appreciate it ..
so good .
i'm not voting yet . :)
