i saw the thumbs of this challenge on my phone and this one stood out above all the others ...
i'm on my computer now and its the first one i've opened ..
but part of why this one stood out so much was your fantastic imagination .. that you thought of this for the challenge blows me away .. you have created something extremely unique ..
now to see if there are any others that really grab me like this one has ...
ps .. i hate to put in a negative .. but there are a couple of black spots that are hard to miss and might bring your score down .. they arent affecting my vote tho ... :)

two wonderful models .. doesnt get much better than this ..
and in my opinion they are the perfect distance apart ..
i can imagine how difficult this was to stage .. just having one animal do what you want can be hit and miss .. mainly miss with me and toddy .... so i take my hat off to you .. your photography skills, your patience and creating this for the challenge ..
many congratulations on an extremely endearing and unforgettable image and top five .. :)

its like you cant win .. in painterly that is ..
do a painterly edit and some ppl will mark you down ..
do a painterly edit and some ppl will love it ..

this was one of my favs in the challenge .. just because its such a stunning and dramatic image .. i can also imagine it as a painting .. and that to me therefore satisfies the challenge ..
there were other pics in the challenge that were edited painterly to the max and some of them i was blown away by ..

i go by my feelings when i look at photos in challenges .. not my brain as such ..
of course taking into account the challenge requirements ..
but to me thats what art is all about .. how a painting, photo or whatever makes us feel ...
dissecting isnt the point ..
just my opinion tho ..

anyway .. i for one am glad you left it in ..
its the sort of image i'd show to my family . and they'd go OMG .. thats amazing .. :)
