Another signature composition from you. Feels like something that would really register best blown up to a medium-format mural print covering an accent wall in a modern office building.

This plant really pops out. I think the yellow helps. Kind of wish the DOF was a bit more to include the center tip, but still a nice presentation overall.

Anita - My apologies if the vote numbers were different. I was basing it off the data you provided in your Photographers Comments section (since edited and removed by you). I'm also sorry for your confusion, but your association of my commenting timestamp and when I actually vote don't match up. Usually I'm not voting at the same time as commenting.

For the record, here's what I based my earlier comment on (screenshots of your posted Photograhers Comments and the actual vote number you'd posted then).

No I did not receive seven votes in the last three hours. I received four votes, when I viewed the score three hours before rollover it was on 7.04 and after you voted it dropped to 6.88. As an administrator I would expect you to be more encouraging, but encouraged is not how I feel!!

Originally posted by glad2badad: Interesting take. Kind of a polaroid feel with the border and vintage vibe with the sepia toning. I bet this looks cool up close where we could possibly see more of the photo the child is holding. Doesn't quite come across on the voting page at the scale needed to really show it.

Fantastic image of an adorable young model. Very nicely done, Anita.

I can relate to your feelings about a sole nitpicker failing to see the beauty in an image and doling out a low vote. Some curmudgeon hit me with a 2 on my blue ribbon Martin Parr entry. I just wonder who that could have been. I guess we all need to suck it up.
