I rather liked this photo when I came across it in the voting. I think for the most part the culture reference was one that some might have not quite gotten.

As for that edit version. I'm fairly sure the flare would have DQed. BUT I personally like the smoothed out look of her face from that Smart Blur. A few fine tuning adjustments on this could have easy brought in a ribbon.

I´ts my favorit time to take pictures....

I love this photo.

The color, the lighting, the expression. I just want to turn around to see what it is she is staring at.

Only thing constructive I think I could say is that in the left half there are a few spots catching light from something. But this being the basic I'm not sure there was much you could have done to remove those. :)

Thanks for the comments everyone. I know the shot was far from perfect, so thanks to everyone that gave me feedback on what they liked or didn't like about it. :)

Ohhh I love how they look. But I like best the layering of the other flowers below with the shadows..

I love what ever was done with this. Plus the intersecting of the cranes. I also like the bird and how it stands out.

I like it. I think a closer/different angle that gave more of the crane in the shot would have been cool.

I rather like the skewed perspective of this.

I rather liked the colors of this photo and just the over all feel of old with the desat color and new with the clothing.

I thought though that the blue truck in the background maybe should have been desaturated a little bit as it tends to draw my eye with how it's framed through the cab. :)(btw my first comment)
