Congratulations, my dear, on a superb photograph. Excellent score and placement in a Best of 2006 against all that competition, but mostly look at the score given by commenters - your work is inspired AND inspiring. I'm so glad this was justly rewarded.

Funny, as many of your SP's as I've seen, it just dawned on me it's YOU. ROFL

Brilliant work. Congrats. Top 50 in this challenge is a nice feather in your cap.

Congrats on your new personal best! Nice to see someone actually doing that with this challenge. :) And wow, what a high placement! And then look at that favorites count and how many comments and how highly THEY rated this! Just a fantastic result all around.

This shot is just masterful; the framing, light, your pose ... plus, I had to lean in close to tell it wasn't a painting!

Your artistry is simply stunning, Svetlana. You really owe DPC a tutorial on how you got the painting effect.

I'm quite glad to see this photo back on the site (I tried to show it off to my girlfriend, at by that point it was gone), and I hope that you get all the aclaim you deserve. This is a captivating shot, and the painterly effect is beautifully applied. I look forward to checking your profile for more captivating shots in the coming year. Oh, I and I have to thank Posthumous for mentioning you on his profile page - otherwise I might have missed this shot.
