Beautiful picture! My pick for 1st and I believe it this will win 1st place. The black background with just the hand by the birds head is elegantly composed.

This was one of my favorites in the challenge. I don't usually like the kid entries in the challenges since most are snapshots that don't fit the challenge but this one fits the challenge very well and is very artistically done. Great use of muted color. I like the mood this picture projects, the expression on your daughters face and the butterfly. I had hoped it would have won a ribbon.

This was one of my favorites in the challenge. I thought it was very well done and should have placed a lot higher. I think the fact that a lot of people used rings caused your score to suffer. I don't think it should. This picture should of been judged in its own context. Very well shot, great lighting and interesting composition.

This is a very interesting photo. Excellent photo journalism. I'm not sure if it's NG but I really like it. I will probably remember this one long after I have forgotten the winning photographs.

Great work!
