Excellent title, that's what I thought of the photo, before reading it. That bumped it up for me.

What a lucky person to be living is such a beautiful place. As I said to #'s 1 & 2, this is the first time all three of the Ribbon winners I had given 10's to. Fantastic photo.

Venetian Mask

Comment:
Thank you all for your informative comments. The flecks are "reflections" as the mask was on a polester velvet and it was highly reflective. I adjusted the levels as much as I could to get rid of them, but couldn't get rid of them all without affecting the mask itself.

I also felt that there might not be enough blue in the photo for some, but I liked it. Oh well, there's always the next challenge. :)

Edited for spelling.

Fantastic photo! I don't mind her being centered either. With a blank paper looking at different crops you might have tried, I think centered is best.

I want to Thank all those that voted and made comments on my first entry. I agree with those that commented it was too dark. I entered this on the last day and essentially just did a Basic Edit. Levels, Crop, Brightness/Contrast, Saturation, USM and resize. I did clone to enhance that "eye glint", and in hindsight, I probably should have dodged some of the left flank to lighten it up. But, Live and Learn. Once again, thanks to all that commented.
