uh UH!! That looks right side up to me! (I just hurt my neck trying to look at her face). She's beautiful.

This is a wrenchingly beautiful photograph. The only thing that gets me about it is the coyness of covering the nipples... it makes it seem self-conscious. The nipples themselves would add a great element to the outline of the breasts too... although I know that if they weren't given some support, her breasts would fall towards her armpits (I know, I have a pair myself as I commented on the hooters girl photo in the last challenge :). Still, 10 from me.

Sorry -- should read, "I had no problem with this . . " Obviously I do have a problem with English tonight. :-)

I agree with achiral. Though i did comment on the contrast of light and dark, I had not problem with this being a transition. I just assumed the fire was the catalyst for the transition.

transitions result in contrasts...and for the record, the building pictures that were in the top 20 are most definitely not true transitions, they are contrasts, and no one had a problem with them. interpretation was the key here, and you had to stretch your mind and realize that fire and ice is a transition, just like all the rest. by the way, nice job, i also did thermal ice and some were saying this about my picture. doesn't make sense to me. anyway good job on yours, your colors were better than mine

thanks for all your comments. for the record, the transition i was going for was from cold to hot. thanks to all the idiots who said it wasn't a transition. i'm well aware that water never actually turns into fire.

i fall into a trap in these challenges because i use a very bright flat panel monitor at home that always shows a lot more detail in the dark areas of the photo when compared to other monitors. i'm going to have to alot for that next time i take a dark shot.

Comment by dowski:
The objects say "opposites" to me, but the action and the and visual quality satisfies "transition".

Um... I think this is a contrast, not a transition. Sorry.
