I really like how the long exposure makes it seem as though the stars are raining down, it's a very beautiful shot. Congrats on 4th, definitely worthy of a top rank!

The path is great....love how you have done that. Yes, it would have been better had the shell been all in focus, but pretty hard to do while still keeping the effect of the path. Some selective sharpening on the shell may have made this a little less noticeable (but would not have completely removed it) and that could have helped. I also would have cropped more of the foreground out (but none of the sides). While this would have changed the aspect ratio, it would have moved the snail away from the middle of the image, and removed the large white area at the front, while still maintaining the effect of the path.......

I'd like to know more about this - did the child jump off the swing? or is that a second swing?

Either way, the composition and texture is great.

This was my number one pick of the challenge. Something about just appealed to me more than any other photograph.
