Your flower is better than mine :D

I liked this. It gave a great sense of fresh sense of spring. Like the flower was ready to go out and play. Very pretty!

Making emotion come through in this still life. You can actually feel for the flower. I like it all. Great shot :)

At first I could not connect the title to the picture, as my attention was immediately fixated on the subject near center with the handbag and boots. But eventually I was able to pull back and see the manequine with hand on waist. Intriguing shot, much interest here.

134th out of 249 ???

We have come to realize that life is not all about wow. It's about the moments in life, how we see them and how they will be remembered. A scene like this could so easily be overlooked, passed on as just a pigeon standing/walking there, but the way this was captured is nothing short of perfect. Your title couldn't be better too - certainly puts a grin on my face.
The other significance here, is that your image, though only average in numbers score-wise, has more favorites on it than some of the top ten shots in the challenge - that to me is worth 10x a good score, which by the way, I need to click to add to mine now.

I would have been proud to have taken this shot, and would have stood just as proud at the finish line regardless of the populous wow vote.

Well seen. Thanks for sharing this.
