Ohmygoodness! I am SO HAPPY you changed your mind about not entering challenges anymore for a while. This is exquisite. The bright pretty colors look like they belong -- not like its a negative image. And its so 3-dimensional, it almost looks like one of those holograms.

WOW! Congratulations on a most impressive photo to join your impressive collection :)

I like these candid street shots a lot. The conversion is nice, and agree with others that the original crop is very good, too.

I love the purplish/pink hue. The drops look beautiful too.

They are a treat, and it does look like fiber optics. I never thought of them that way. Hmmmm. So now you're bringing dandelions indoors? Some people might say, "Blasphemy!"

Wow!!! This is beautiful! It has a turbulent kind of energy, and that golden color with the blue tones: FANTASTIC! Jeeeeez, I'm sorry you didn't enter this one.

Maybe shot to death, but this is a totally different take on the norm, and I like the bold, in-your-face presentation. The wispy little feathers look magical like soft lights on the scene.

Happy to see me? No, guess not.

:) My guess is there has never been such a beautiful photo in 2nd to last place. And so cute to make me giggle out loud at my computer.

I would say that ya gotta love those non-imaginative voters. . .but. . .ummm. . .you don't gotta love 'em, do you!

Well, this certainly has gotten praise and accolades (not to mention faves) from people who count, so who cares about the ridiculous, undeserved score!
