WOWSERS .. !! ..
I just came to have a very quick look at this challenge on my phone .. and when the thumbs popped up this jumped off the page like no other ..

I will vote now .. but there is a possibility of it going up when I look on the computer .. although its nearly at the ceiling.. :)

i love how emotive this image is .. so many stories could be imagined just viewing it ..
many congrats on the 4th place ..
and when i see a vote of 1 i wonder if they intended to vote 10 but somehow made a mistake .. it definitely turns a negative into a positive .. sorta .. !! .. ;)

There were a lot of stellar images in this week's challenge. Thrilled to have placed 3rd. That is actually the sun coming trough a thin veil of clouds. At first I struggled a bit with my settings, but then I found the sweet spot. Thanks again!

you're very welcome Ingrid ..
congratulations on the ribbon .. and thanks for the backstory .. :)
