A beautiful scene – wisdom and craftsmanship combined. It's a shame the hands aren't perfectly sharp; that might have cost you the blue... but even so, it definitely doesn't deserve a 2 (shakes head).

Yeah, my bad that I entered a blurry image, sorry about that! In the haste of travel and without a computer I edited it on my iPad and hadn't noticed the lack of sharpness until it was pointed out to me in comments. Now back home I found several outtakes that were perfectly sharp, like this one, for example

Oh well...

One of my top picks. I'm befuddled by the outlier 2 vote, which seems to be the only thing keeping this from being the real Blue here. I found this to be an original and compelling take on the challenge. Congrats!

I want to like this. Well, actually I do like it, but wish the hands were in focus, then it could be pretty awesome.

I SO want this to be one of my favorite photos in this challenge. This one had the potential to be the most compelling example of my interpretation of the challenge. Obviously I don't know the situation in which the photo was made, but my photographer senses are begging me for a slightly different camera angle where the camera is at a higher level pointing down at an angle so the artistry being created becomes an equal player with the hands in this composition. Great job on seeing a great opportunity and choosing it for this challenge.
