Great work Mark my good man :-) Congrats on the ribbon.

That oil slick device worked, but I stayed on your tail to the end! Good going. This one did not come up for me in voting, however, so I cannot tell you what I gave it.

quick scan through all the entries (thumbnails only) and this is my pick for the blue... will come back and edit if I change my mind, but great shot. Initial impression is this is the best of the best. Finally finished all 259... still my favorite

This photo is beautiful! This looks like it was taken at just the right time of day to really enhance the beauty of the flowers and the trees with the sunlight.

A bit too much colour saturation I think, feels like I'm in an alien world!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great, eye catching. Love the ground cover and the trees moving inward. Wish there was a person or something at the end of the isles of trees!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/30/2009 01:27:28 PM
Very beautiful picture. The colors of the bluebells are nice. The symmetry is nice too - being able to look right down the center of all the trees is appealing.
