i'm going to copy and paste what i just wrote to paul after rollover ...
think i need a sedative now .. lol .. joke .. !! ..

i literally had 40 mins to vote on this challenge before rollover .. and also as you know slow internet ..
i finished voting with two minutes to spare .. i'm so glad i saw this .. and a couple of others in the last few minutes ..
i had voted a couple of days ago on two pics that i gave very high votes ..
but hadnt got in to vote on the rest .. i felt i had to finish .. how shitty if my high votes didnt get in ..
also i'd hate it if someone voted high on a few photos and never got in to vote on the rest .. and might have given me a high vote .. so i was stressing out when rollover was a few minutes away and i had maybe five to vote on ..
thats a long story .. lol .. !! .
anyway .. you may have noticed a high rise near the end .. that would probably have been me ..xx..

ANYWAY .. CONGRATULATIONS on the ribbon .!!. so totally deserving .. its a stunning photo .. :)

I thought of you when I commented and voted in voting .. I was one of your 8's btw ..
looking at the breakdown .. I'm a bit confused by the three 3's and three 4's .. you totally satisfied the challenge .. it's an awesome image .. and the silhouettes are perfect with that gorgeous sunset sky .. what's not to love here .. xx

this really is quite beautiful. The colors are gorgeous. The thing I find interesting, particularly with these colors, the recurring dream could either be a good one or a nightmare. The colors are warm and happy, and yet they also seem forest firey.

I remember this tree, or one of its also gracious siblings.
Here its top is partly obscured by the harsh line of landscape but as a postcard my only idea would have been to write the place in smaller characters and not in italics. For what's worth.

Perfect, as usual.

Normally it's the subjects/points of interest that makes the image. And although the interaction between mother and child is interesting, for me it's the beautiful background that really makes this image. The colours, the blur, amazing!. It was one of my top picks. Congrats on the Red.
