This shot has been given a final vote that I cannot in good conscience agree with. It is beautiful, well photographed, fascinating and well done. What were the voters thinking?

I gave this a 7 as I truly loved the feeling of being a child and lying on the ground beneath a huge tree a squinting at it until it became a monster that would come alive and chase me almost near home and then devour me ... I was an unusual child I might mention .. I love what almost amounts to abstracts - enough of the original photo so one can come up with a real story that has substance but not enough to take away from the imaginary parts where childhood awake dreaming allows the unthinkable to take place .. this should have done better.. but I have said or thought that about many of the entries .. I admit I don't know a lot about Ben's style but enough to know that is closer to some of the higher voted shots.

Ahh I wish I had gotten to this one .. such a sense of sadness (for me) as if many people were being forced to leave their homes .. or to enjoy the beach even though they are no longer young .. I don't know which one I like more .. but I enjoy them both. Thank you for such a vision and congratulations on placing in the top 10.

What a wonderful shot - I wish I had gotten around to commenting on all the photos because this one is fascinating .. she does, as others have commented, look like she has a tail --- what a story that could be conjured up in an active imagination regarding this shot .. it's excellent and I would have given it at least an 8.

You know, I really appreciate your style and have studied it a lot during this challenge and wouldn't have picked this as yours .. but it is such an excellent shot that I should have .. I just don't have the eye .. YET :) Congrats on your top 10 finish in an very challenging entry cause this bspurgeon guy is a tough act to follow :)

I never got to this shot while voting .. how fascinating - a perfect range of tone and such a sense of mystery that one could spend hours coming up with a plot to suit this wonderful photo - I would pick a scary mystery plot. Congratulations!
