Everyone is so kind. It's a good thing. But sometimes it's good to be honest. Compare first palce to second place. It just doesn't make much sense. Not attacking the blue ribbon winner. so hopefully I don't get the usual dribbling flames. Just take a good look. Not sure what to make of the winning shot. It's a good idea, and it fits the challenge perfectly. But is it a good photograph? What do people base ratings on? The degree to which the photo meets the challenge? Technical details? Aesthetics? all-of-the-above? I hate to post this here, b/c you won fair and square. I congratulate you on the ribbon, you should be proud. But people on this forum are almost disgustingly "sweet". Stop with the sycophantic panting and consider what is being said. To say this shot is great or awsome is, well. . . Congrats on the ribbon, really. Sorry to post this during your parade.

I actually like this. It looks like a simple stock shot, but it certainly works for the challenge. you deserve your ribbon.

had the exposure been better this would have been a much more powerfull image. As it is, it's muddy and lacks any punch. I do like the idea. the cropping could have been a little tighter, but this is a subjective matter. Nice idea.
