Great capture. The emotion makes the image.

Cool picture. Too bad the challenge is pastels, however. I do not see any light, pale tints.

This is such a hard challenge to vote on. This is a fabulous photo, really creatively done and cool. However, like 95% of the photos in this challenge, I really don't see pastels ("a light, pale tint of a color").

Good picture but I think the vignetting is distracting and the photo would be better without it. The lighting is very nice.

Shannon,
Fantastic work, as always! (Actually, I think this shot looks more natural and convincing than your "fixed" version. For instance, the floating girl's hair on the top of her head appears too dark in the fixed version when compared with other things in the room lit from above.)

LOL about the "worst 7+ image, technically" comment, and your response!! ;-)

Keep up the inspirational work.

I think if you read the challenge description, you will realize you are to take a picture of your camera: "use your camera to take a picture of itself."

I'm looking hard, but not seeing a camera anywhere. Maybe you didn't read the challenge description.

Wow! Really awesome photo. It's even better than my previous favorite, "Midnight Run" by C-town driver:


I've wanted to take a photo like this for a while, but my car has too many dents and stuff now for it to be nice enough for the shot. I wondered if Midnight Run had inspired you as well.

Congrats on a fabulous image and the ribbon!
