My first ribbon and only my fourth challenge.
It was a roller coaster ride all the way along. On the second day my score peaked at almost 7.3 but dropped to about 6.8 and then rose again till about 7.1 before dropping the last day. So I was so happy to walk in from work and find I had actually placed second.
The shot:
Just a very old book, positioned in a pile of leaves. Natural light.
I really did not expect this shot to go well at all, it was a last minute change from the photograph I had planned to enter, but I obviously made the right decision.
I thought I would get plenty of criticism on my choice of composition, but this felt strongest from the many different shots, so I went with the gut feeling.
I must say a HUGE congrats to Walkaboutwolf on his blue, awesome shot and very well deserved. And also I was very impressed with all the other entries into this challenge, awesome work!
Thanks to everyone for the nice comments and votes :)
