Now I'm pretty sure I gave THIS one a MUAIMHO... so will kill two birds with one stone (MUAIMHO notification and PAW2010 comment).

I'm happy to present this image with a MUAIMHO award, as I am of the opinion that it was amongst the Most Under Appreciated in the challenge.



I love the balance in this image. The story it tells, or rather the mystery it creates... great contrast and tones, and brilliant use of the vignette. I gave this a 9 and honestly expected to see it in the top 10 for the challenge. You're a true inspiration Ben... keep it up.

Commenting as part of my PAW2010 commitments, and the first cab off the rank is this beauty which almost got a MUAIMHO... I gave this an 8, and only missed getting higher and hence the MUAIMHO because I found the perceived tilt a little off balancing. Everything else... brilliant! I truly LOVE the eye for photography that you have and share with us all.

Stunning b/w, although at first I had a hard time separating the subject from the background. They are both amazing elements but fight each other for attention.

I am not sure it this feed the challenge. I have other concept about minialism, but, no doubt, this is an exceptional image! Lovely

This is astounding. Subtle indeed. Blink and the joy is gone, blink again, and she's grown up. I'm no poet. I do like this. A ten for you.

You got robbed at gunpoint on this, but such is the fate of abstract photography on this site. This certainly found it's fans, however, and I suspect that is what you were after more than the popular vote. Well done.
