I had hoped it would have ribboned as well, but as I looked through some of the great photos, I knew it wasn't possible. But thanks so much for the kind words and the vote!

Thank you! I was hopeful it would do well and although not as well as I had hoped, I am happy with my placement. I have been working very hard to get better and your comment (and many others) has given me some momentum. Thanks.

Wow! Thank you VERY much! Didn't expect this photo to do as well as it did, although I hoped it would and I certainly appreciate this recognition...This photo is my second personal best of all time.

reminds me of pam anderson...but i didn't score you low because of it...the pose strikes me as glamour, but the photo as a whole just appears to me to be a model shoot for a magazine ad...glamour means a bit more to me...but i love the photo and gave it an 8. i think it will ribbon...

i don't know, i think this is more of a "model shoot" than "glamour", but I just could not find myself scoring it low...i gave it an 8. might have fit better if cropped into the face more...less of the other assets...beautiful photo overall.

I found this photo on 1x.com. I found it prior to this competition. 1x.com posts the photographer's name. Of course anyone seeing it can immediately know who shot the photo and vote accordingly. This is another example of why I did not vote in this competition. I think this is an awesome photo, but I feel it is unfair from a competitive standpoint to allow photos to be entered that have been used in competition here before, or posted on other sites. Just my two cents.
