I regularly go to the art galleries, and I see the work that people are doing in a city that is well regarded for being cultured and artistically educated. Your work blows them all away. Seriously, by leaps and bounds. I mean it in a factual way, and not just as my opinion. Excellent photo, and congratulations on another ribbon!

Mike,

This is perhaps the highest compliment I have ever received, and thank you from the bottom of my heart. As of now, I have not displayed anything anywhere and only share my images here and at another site. It's on my list of things to do when I get serious about this hobby.

Again, Thank You.
Your kind words mean more than any ribbon ever did.

Thanks!

Oh you're gonna love this - I don't own one! Didn't want to go cheap and have been putting aside for a good one.

I haven´t seen many shots like this before, I both love it and hate it and it´s very wierd for me because normally I only feel one of those feelings towards a shot and normally neither as most shots I see on this site just seem to cruise in between.

The chain linked fence really irritates me and I keep trying to look past it at what´s beyond it but I can´t but at the same time if the chain linked fence wasn´t there this shot wouldn´t work at all so I can´t explain it. Let´s just say that I love to hate this shot and I mean that in the best way, it´s awesome!

Edit: I have come back too it three times now and it really strikes me more and more each time I see it. I love the monotone blue in it and the shape behind it and the post processing is awesome. I gave it a 10 and just added it to my favorites. Hope yo do well in this challenge.
