Tremendous photo. For me the wind-blown hair is the icing on the cake. It creates a dynamic emotional impact. The wind looks strong enough to blow her off the path. The contrast between white points and black points is stunning. The curve of the boardwalk is a nice compositional element and makes me want to see what's further on. Great job! Hope it ribbons.

I grew up not far from here and you have captured the spirit of valley perfectly. Beautifully done! Hope it ribbons.

And if you have the chance, try the same spot in deep winter.

This is a great photo largely because you've got a photogenic subject but also because it's technically perfect. Very well done! Hope it ribbons.

I have to tell you, this shot creeps me out! The emotional payload is fantastic! She is NOT someone I think I would enjoy getting to know although a smile could change her appearance completely. It's weird, the business suit is so out of chartacter with her punked up hair but the collar rescues the contradiction. The cross says something else altogether. Apparently nothing under the suit ... what does that tell me? I have returned to this photo often and bumped it up each time. Among my favorites and hope it ribbons! Good luck.

Goofy title rescued by a fine picture. I love the detail in the wings and razor sharp focus on the whole bee. Composition works well overall. Great job! Hope it ribbons.

Nice saetting for an exceptional photo. I really like the lines of the hills and grasses. I like the counterpoint of diagonal hill lines and vertical grass lines. It's a powerful composition with perfect placement of the house in the frame. The nearly empty sky contrasts well witht he lower two thirds of the image. Hope this ribbons.

This is beautiful. I love the contrast, the composition, the focus, the framing ... just about everything except the jpeg artifacts which prevent it from being a 10 for me. This image is about 50K and could be as big as 150K. Suggest maxing the file size in the future to avoid the artifacts.
