Awesome! Reminds me of my wife's favorite botanical artist, Regine Hagedorn.

I think this is the first image I've ever seen that received no "zero" votes. Well done.

Rembering Stacey

Thanks to all who voted, and an extra huge thanks to those who commented. I'll admit to some disapointment with the score, and the fine comments helped ease my mind.

I understood the risk of entering an image that might be considered "religious" by voters. I'm not a religious person, but Stacey was an active and respected member of his church, so it suits his memory.

I guess that I was hoping to not be penalized for the image of a cross. I was hoping that the voters could distinguish between a scene that contains a religious item and a scene that onerously promotes ones' own religion, and just vote on the image.

Easily one of my favorites for the challenge. You were robbed by the fussy intolerance of the PC police. Clearly one of the most underrated images, IMHO.

Not much to do about it, but the big pointy shadow on the wall is distracting.

I guess the only thing you can't do at this intersection is go backwards. Good subject.

Peculiar title, funny sticker. Maybe the crop is a little too tight, and the dark tones can be darker.

Slippery For Motercycles

I think the ice is a dead giveaway. LOL... The image is over-exposed: the light areas are entirely white, and the shadow areas are not dark enough. You can't fix the whites, but either levels or curves can help the shadows.

Maybe too much un-sharp masking for web viewing...
