Very good composition though the pic needs to be sharpened more for the glossy ribbon winning feel

This is GREAT! Thank you all for taking the time to vote. My 3rd challenge and managed to climb in 5th place. Further more, I�m so happy for the 30+ comments � the greatest encouragement of all, especially after getting the shot only a few minutes before deadline. As with all my other entries, I barely had enough time to crop, resize and save. Therefore, this 5th place is a good incentive to find more time for photography (including post-processing).

Now, back to earth ;) The way the setup was done, if anybody interested:

- orange background
- base : matte printer paper rest with a circular hole a bit smaller than the globe (enough to keep it ¾ above)
- globe: 1$ glass globe (Dollarama)
- lights: one underneath (flashlight), one lateral (reading flashlight) behind a Coca-Cola glass to throw those �flames� at the background
- ice: chopped ice around the globe � not so easy to keep it there at about 28C

Nice. I think there should be some work done here as far as levels/contrast/saturation go. The composition is great, but the colors are a bit flat. You can really vibe those up in PS!
