Splendid shot - the sharpness of the clouds and the blur of the motion from the car is crazy cool!

Congrats to you on a fantastic image. I am so happy you entered this. I was one of your 10s. You captured modern impressionism so effectivetly with this image.

Jeff - This was so completely underappreciated. I really thought it was brilliantly done. I gave you a 10 for the vibrancy of the colors, the compositin and the fantastic impressionistic feel.

Jeb- A nice image - I gave it a 7 during voting.

The things I liked about the image was the richness of the fading rose - well illuminated, good textures, warm yet melancholy.

The reason it likely did not do better in voting is that the while there is a smooth background, the background does not have a large impact on the image. Having the background very muted tones of dark green did not give the fast voters enough eye candy to stick around and look. In addition, much of the background is quite dark without a lot of the 'little circles of light' that so many were expecting.
