Looks like a close up of Hot Chocolate with Whipped cream. Eyecandy!

This really is a feast for the eyes. Very rich with disorientating, almost surreal subject matter and beautiful tones. One for the wall for sure - very inspiring. Put it on the Prints site.

How much post-editing did you do?

I was astounded to see that you did not place in top three in that challenge. It's a head shaker. I ran the vote pattern through a statistical analysis to see what was going on, and concluded that there was no unusual voting, just a plain old "gaussian" or normal distribution, albeit with a high standard deviation. I cannot explain this other than to hypothesize that some people just did not understand your submission.
I've had a similar experience with one of my submissions, with an even worse score. Granted, my photo was not nearly as good as yours. I voted yours a 10, BTW, one of only a few I have given in over 8,000 votes.
Don't take to heart the votes of those who seemingly have little imagination. You met the challenge, you submitted a strikingly beautiful, thought-provoking image, and many of us recognized that. Have fun with your photography, and please do continue to contribute to the site.
