Congratulations Yura on the ribbon and a great score. I am truly happy for you. To me the shot really fits your style in a bit ironic way ;-) I really hope this opens up a broader audience to your creative and original work.

This was a great entry because it appends to the original and in doing so it becomes a work worthy to look at in its own right. Congratulations on your yellow.

Originally posted by samtrundle: Well, would you look at that, a ribbon at last - for some reason I had a hunch this was yours: I think because of the reference you made to trying to do the multi-image comp in the lead up to voting. Well that, and that distinctive border of yours again :P. Anyway, what impresses me (and more than a few others by the looks of it) about this is the way you managed the reflections in the waterdrops while maintaining the flurescent background. Would be great if you could post something to explain. Congrats.

Naww! The border is from the original image =) I am never putting one on my challenge pics anymore, 'cause even though it's a vanilla border, people for soem reason recognize it =)

The reflection vs color is easy, the original shot didn't have color, just a print of kiwiness' frames refracted in the waterdrops and blurred in the background. Colors are made with 10 hue/sat colorize adjustment layers with gradient masks, exposing 20% of the pic with the right color. I tried actually doing it with hi-lighters, and you can do the color that way easily, but they appear in the drops too and they cover up the image in the bg, so couldn't do it that way.

Thanks everyone!

This is very creative and imaginative. It obviously took alot of time to develop the idea, create, shoot and develop. Photographically it is very interesting and it is one of the better pictures in the challenge. I think, unfortunately, that it might not get the score it deserves as it may not be perceived as "Natural" Great job though.

EXCEPTIONALLY fine work, but for me it doesn't meet the guidelines. This is an assemblage, not a "found face". In the right circumstances I'd "10" it.
