many congratulations on such an incredible image ... if i had anything to do with it it would have got a ribbon for sure .
6 out of 64 is probably nothing to sneeze at tho .. this is marvelous .. :)

well Sara .. i am so impressed with not only your photography but your magic edit as well .. i really felt this would get the blue ..
it is up there as a really powerful and dramatic image .
i was interested in voting to see what lens you were using when it rolled over . ? ..
anyway many congratulations on top five .. being on the front page gets a lot of ppl looking at your photo .. and appreciating and commenting .. after that not so much .. and this is a winner in my book . xx

i feel this will go awesome in the challenge ..
my personal preference would have been for the girl to have been smiling or happy ... just that when i see someone smiling and happy the energy transfers over to me and it lifts my mood ..
but thats just me .. other ppl often identify with sadness .. or emotion-less .. which this girls seems to be ..
her eyes are AMAZING .. i have looked into them for a long time .. :)

i feel the voters will really love this and it should go well in the challenge ..
its a great photo and i'm loving your composition ..
photos where the subject is looking moody and not at the camera can be very appealing .. i think it resonates with the viewers own energy ..
i personally prefer happy smiling joyful images that lift my mood and make me happy .. but it takes all types ..

OMG .. as in .. OH MY GOODNESS . !!!!! ..
talk about intense .. and dramatic .. and just wonderful ..
this is an outstanding example of black and white flower photography ..
everything about this is captivating .. i'm blown away ..
what i especially love about this is that centre piece and how those petals are curled protectively around the ones inside .. the dynamic feeling of this is also incredible .. :)

first photo i've opened in this black and white challenge and i'm thinking it could be a blue ribbon .. if this is the calibre of photos in this challenge it will be an awesome ride looking thru it ..
for some reason i'm thinking this has a Dennis flavour about it .. of course i could be totally wrong .. but if i am then its a very great compliment .. whoever shot this has great photographic skills and your editing rocks .. :)
