Never said I was a photographer...good bad or otherwise...but I am a damn good photo editor and IMO if you want this type of thing then throw out the basic editing rules and the advanced editing rules and let the photographer decide what an image needs in the way of photo editing and then judge that.I thought I lived in America where an Artist is not restricted by other peoples ideas of what should be allowed because it gives them a safe, warm, and fuzzy feeling when they go to bed at night...buy a camera, take some photos and then try some photo editing. You might learn something and then be able to give an honest opion of someone else's skills.

and finally, the black edging around the head definately lost points with me. I give a seven.

In addition, I deducted points for lack of originality...I have seen an almost duplicate of this image in a previous challenge...it was also a first place winner which IMO also did not deserve a blue ribbon.

I've been photo chopping for twelve years and you did a good job with the hair but not blue ribbon...IMO this went far beyond basic photo editing.

I really like the way you tweaked the clouds in this one...but IMO shouldn't there be a reflection on the water?
