This is a great composition. Good focus and contrast. Perfect in b&w. High score from me.

Yeeehaaaaaa!!!!
Thanks everyone!

It must have been two or three weeks ago that I said in the forums and/or in the chat that I expected to make "ribbon-quality" in a year or two from now. :)
Never expected this when I made it, I was just happy to score a 7+ and was anxious that it would just drop below it the whole week. I dreamed about a ribbon though. :)
Didn't wan't to get out of bed this morning in case it would be #4 or #5, but guess what, I got third! (/me makes funny moves with arms)

Thanks to all of you, it is also your photo's that inspire & help me. DPChallenge was the first site to really make me think about what I am doing with my camera and the critique club is a great help too.
Guess I have to do better in the future, lets say that I wan't to get a red ribbon within five years. ;)

Get the party started, drinks are on me!

Excellent idea of a before and after shot. I love how you have used the glasses to create the clarity. It is a very real photo. Well done. GL.
