This is nice! I like that you converted it to black and white - it has just the right amount of highlights and shadows. Perfect!

I don't really understand why pet images are voted down, either. My theory, however is this: A lot of new users here may not really know exactly what to shoot. Then, "oh, my kitty cat!" and so they enter a shot that's not really all that great. So, perhaps the voters have seen so many not very good pet photos, they just autimatically give you a bad vote and move on without really looking at the photo. :( I've had that same problem... Photos of my cat that I REALLY liked were give an average or below average score.

Anyways, nice shot!

Okay, now I'm really lost. A picture of the London eyes gets a ribbon. Then this one (which maybe isn't AS good, but is still pretty good!) gets attacked for being 'unoriginal.' It's so confusing... I absolutely do not understand the voters. :) Oh well. This is a beautiful picture. I am always a sucker for blue lights!

I also love the way the path glows with the lights!

WOW!!!!! Absolutely.... I am utterly speechless! This is so unusual. I have never seen someone do this kind of selective desaturating. Leaving just the hair colored, and the face desaturated.
Very beautiful, EXTREMELY unique! My only comlpaint is that it's a little grainy... but I love the blur on the hair, the high contrast, and the black background. This is way too cool. :)

a little blurry, and the lighting is kind of harsh.... but this is a cool idea! Neat facial expression.

I like the yellow hair against the beautiful green eye - a nice image! The only thing I might suggest doing differently is trying to get the camera to focus on the eye. Otherwise, this is a nice shot - I like the brightness of it!

I was almost tempted to say that these images need a little brightening up.... but I think I actually like them a little dark like this. The desaturated grays and browns are kind of cool. The lighting is utterly stunning; the focus superb. Excellent shots!

I looks like either this needs more contrast, or maybe the white-ballance was off. There really isn't anything WHITE in this image - making it feel rather dull and unnatural. But I like the composition a lot... it's very bold and creative! :)
