Congrats on the Red. The background perfectly accents the dandelions and the lighting gives them life even in their death. Beautifully done in B&W.

Congratulations on the red. I have to own that I didn’t fully appreciate it when I voted - I’m really glad it did so well, and that an extra point wouldn’t have swung its position! It’s a beautifully delicate and toned image, that I suspect would be all the better for being printed on a high quality rag paper.

this has so much going for it .. much of which its hard to express in words ..
congratulations on the ribbon .. its a stunning, beautiful and emotive shot .. :)

This has such a sad air about it which makes it very beautiful. Top five for me.
