You know... I know it's your only sub-5 score, but you were robbed on this one.

This was my personal pick for blue ribbon. Very nice indeed. So simple to make and print something like that in photoshop yet I've never seen anyone do that before. It's these kinds of things that make excellent photos--simple, original ideas. Your set-up, lighting, focus, exposure, all that stuff is all nice, but the idea itself is what won. I love this stuff and I love seeing images like this win. Congrats =] (Nice message, too. Honour killings should be condemned by all levels of government in those nations, not just discouraged.)

If ever there was a shot that should have been above 8, this is it. It is thoroughly enjoyable to see your work. Your ideas are wonderful, and the way you make them real is truly fascinating.
Well done - Congrats on yet another well deserved ribbon.

Great photo. What a smart idea with the photocopying the paper! never would have thought of somethinglike that.

I also like that you take advantage of the fact that many people will see your photo, to promote causes that are very important

The funny thing about you moving into the "blue" position is thatI couldn't believe that it wasn't the blue to begin with. This is another amazing idea and I think this sorta creative thought deserves high praise as it has here. well done.
