Amazingly this entry, nr. 18 and mine at 27! :(, should have been in top 3! cause they where the best "Expert Editing" entries of the challenge. But hey.. this is popular voting, and we all know how well that goes! :P

Congrats on freaking awesome photography/image!! :)

Congrats on yellow ribbon! :)

There you go!, hehe... I still think the same as I commented before. And as I commented to nr.2, is that this image fits better the "Advanced Editing" instead, while the "Expert editing is something more" (at least, as I see it.. though I can be wrong)

"take a look at the Male Portrait competition (Expert Editing aswell), and see those winners!.. in fact I gave 10's to nr.1 and nr.2, while a 9 to nr. 3!", in the female portrait challenge I gave 10's to nr. 8 and nr. 18, as they fitted better the "expert editing")

pd. I like much more the other one you posted on the comments!

Congrats with Blue Ribbon!!

I commented while voting, and still think the same about the puzzle effect, and the piece "she's holding" is corny and has fakish shadow. but hey!.. you did win and I didnt! ;) Congrats!

Ok, this is one of my 3 favorites! and 1 of them is my own! ;)

I should give you a 1 or 2 point if I played a bit dirty and did everything just to win myself (or get a higher position, maybe a ribbon?) :P

but Im going to be honest!.. and give this a 10! Cause I like it very much, and there isnt a single thing I could say to make it better! :)

pd. this one and my other favorite will compete for the first and second places!.. and If Im lucky I'll get a 3rd position!.. and that would be great enough, beeing my first contest here at dpchallenge!... still being member for years! ;)

Good luck in the challenge

Hate this!.. haha KIDDING! But I hate to recognize that I would have been better without this as a challenger photo! Cause I predict this one becoming a blue ribbon!.. or at least a brown! (while mine I predict becoming a third if lucky!)

Even so, Im going to be correct and give this a 10!, even though I should give it a 1 so I could have more chances! :P

(would love to get in touch with you after the challenge, and maybe get a crash course/tutorial, on how you approached this lovely picture)

Tranquility in Contrast

This is going to get a 10, but still hate how the horizon dont look like perfect!.. (it may be the "bridge" <-- dont know the exact name, but it is going downwards, and this irritates my eyes.

pd. beeing an Advanced Editing, you could probably have fixed it.

This is a cool image but doesnt look like a long exposure to me... but more like a normal exposure taken from a car? In any case, this is a cool photo and I give it a 9!
