Ohmygoodness! Was this taken in the wild. What a beautiful capture!

I think you are very talented! I love your style. It's strong and bold, yet there's a softness when its needed. I think there will be lots more ribbons for you :)

We do have similar perspective... I like this one :) very nice composition. Sad, some people don't see the composition, but they take it on the material (well, most of the time I think) and missing the whole picture if you ask me :P

I have to say this image has made me stop, think, and look deeper than many have for this challenge. It's one of those photos that if seen outside the context of this challenge I might stop and ponder as well. Looking, considering, pondering...none of that is helping me to see where the 'Personification' lies within. Sorry. I love the texture and detail in this. The positioning of the subject within the frame makes for a compelling composition.

FWIW - I'd keep this location in mind for other subjects as well. Perhaps something a bit more "earthy"? This corner makes a great backdrop!

Best of luck to you in the challenge.

I actually think this is the most interesting and well shot picture I've looked at yet for the challenge. wish it was submitted for something else, because the idea of personification doesn't come through without the title for me.
