Originally posted by giantmike: Well, an interesting turn of events. This photo will certainly be heralded as a photo that very obviously does not meet challenge, yet gets a ribbon.

It's interesting, I had only noticed that something was different after I had submitted the photo and let my TPL team know which one it was. The ball was blue initially, but de-saturated, the feather white, and shot on a reflective black background... I didn't even think that there could be any "colour" in the photo. I'm still intrigued by the whole thing - don't have more time to investigate or write more now. But interesting input, and thanks for all the votes (including you, Mike)
