Congratulations on your first ribbon - and a Blue! I didn't have a chance to look at this weeks challenge entries, so this is the first time I have seen your photo - it is lovely!

You certainly have got Topaz worked out! This works really well. Out of interest, what is your technique - a duplicate background layer, apply topaz dramatic and then fade to x, or something else?

Congrats, Mark - the first blue of many, I suspect!

'I am overdue for a brown ribbon.'

Maybe, but you shouldn't have got one for this.

Beautifully lit, very zen-like, calming. I love everything about the composition and photo with the exception of the black thing the pot is sitting on. Nonetheless, in my top 3 for this challenge.

Perfect idea, beautifully photographed. The first photo I have viewed in this challenge - the other entries will have a lot to live up to! A strong 9 from me, and a photo I am looking forward to viewing again.

A photo that copes with repeated viewings - absolutely delightful. Bumped to 10 - my favourite of the challenge.
