Very pretty, Sigrun! I like the toning a lot. This got a 7 from me, but I think I was being a bit stingy for some reason. That 5D on 50 ISO gives such a silky feeling! All in all, I think this is a great entry and a wonderful image.

What a capture!! And look at those spots. What a beautiful cat! I really like the huge shadow behind him (or her). Impressive.

Only four comments? Hmmmph. I really like this shot. The bird is so well in focus above those clouds. The image does give a great sense of freedom - and the title couldn't be better. Nice work, Gugi!

Ooooh Ragga, this series is so much fun to look at!! They're all so perfect. I could never have chosen which to enter. I guess you entered the right one, but I think any one of these could've been blue ribbons. The colors and depth are really incredible.

What a pretty composition, Gurry! The technicals are great. Every element is appealing and obviously well thought out. This got the same score from me at the blue ribbon shot - it as one of my favorites for the challenge.

Congratulations, Irene! This is such a great shot. One of the things that really means a lot to me is the wonderful and detailed description you've given. Wow, what an example of dedication to the art you are! Five hours for a basic challenge, and look at the awesome result. Thanks for being an inspiration.

Your profile page looks great with a ribbon of each color. Way to go!!

Wow, what gorgeous colors! I really like that fog rising from or settling on the lake.

I like the blacks and whites here, but I'm not sure what you're shooting for with the non desaturated lights on the tree above the groom's head. In general, I think partial desaturation is best to emphasize something you might want the viewer to really notice. Your black & whites are really nice. In this one, I love the expressions on your friends. Hope you don't mind the criticism on an otherwise nice shot - I see that it's over a year old, too :-)
