I read most of the comments, and I'm surprised that no one has picked up on the fact you can't see the bill, I voted a ten, and just sead I thought it would be at the top, but I thought there would be some comments about the bill, bay be the initial wow factor takes over, and the nit piking goes out the window, I think it deserves to win, it's a great shot, well done.

the onley thing I don't like about this shot, is that black frame around it, it's just so distracting.

great idea, let down a little by the focus, the egg is sharper than the young lad, DOF not quite deep enough, nicely lined up, and framed.

at first glance it looks as though it was taken through the greenhouse window, and the water drops are on the glass, could get some low votes from those who don't look propperly, nice capture, and good luck.

I wonder what happens if I twist this?

seems to be a lot of dark areas, and some harsh shadows, love the bikes though, good luck, and safe biking.

would like to have seen less focus in the background, rose is well framed, good clear exposure, just the background is distracting.

Hi every one, would like to thank all of you for your comments, the lighting is simply from street lamps, I have not tried cloning as yet, and can see that this is something I will have to try, I can see from the comments, that the signs have let this one down considerably, so I so my next shot, in advanced will have a little touching up, thanks again for the comments, these are what will help me improve.
