I like the composition very much, w/ the bottle&wine - couple. A bit more exposure would be excellent, and the reflection in the wine class is debatable. 7

Lovely. The detail is so exquisite :D. I'll know where to look for fireworks from now on. Only minor thing may be the title - 8.

Dreams vs. Career

I didn't vote, but I would have personally given it an 8. Although this picture may not have brought out the emotions in some people, it brought out the emotions in a lot of people. Lighting is right on, without anything over- or underexposed. When I first look at it, I immediatly felt the mixed emotions of humour, sense of past, and achievement. Expression? I didn't mind it, b/c there's feeling in it (although it doesn't seem positive ;). Some people may have given it a 1 b/c it doesn't mean anything to them. But "half a baseball cap"? Give me a break. From a holistic standpoint, w/o all the nitty-gritty distractions, you deserved the ribbon.

I really like the reflection of the buoy and chain in the form of a shadow, rather than a direct mirror image. The picture exudes a certain type of calming emotion. Wonderfully placed at the top, rather than centred for a very unique look. Congratulations on your win :)
