Fantastic image! Congrat's for top 10. So clean and such lovely color tones. Wonderfully pleasing DOF. LOVE the curly "stems" in the background and the lighting is perfect. Should have scored several tenths higher IMO. Very nice Rina!

Wow - I didn't vote in this challenge but this would have been my top pick. Exceptional image and obviously perfect for photojournalism (you aughta know!). Adding to fav's and congrats on 4th.

WOW!! Congratulations on your ribbon and such a whopping score!! Why mess with those pesky 6's & 7's? Just move straight on to the 8's!!! Very nice.

Lovely shot with a great title. A true-to-life kid moment captured. A little bit sharper focus on her eyes would make this a little stronger for me but very nice job. Back to bump you up to 8.

The Haunted House

My favorite of the challenge. Nicely muted color tones and what a great decoration job! I wish that it wasn't so tight on the house but of course that would be assuming that the house has eerie trees etc. surrounding it (which of course it probably doesn't)! Nicely done. Back to bump you up to 8.

A 5.6?! Oh for shame! You were ROBBED! Perhaps this shot isn't 100%DPC eye-candy but IMO it's photography at it's finest - a wonderful, emotive, timeless capture that each kid in it would love to look back on in the decades to come. Still makes me smile and I'd add it to favorites again if I could!
