Gayle - the forums are a muddle of information, often hijacked by conversation seekers and therefore avoided by many - if you can tell me where this actual rule is written, not allowing archival shots, then I'll consider your remarks to be fair; otherwise, this image is superb and deserves the award.

Kevin, refreshing to find constructive critisism on Usefilm - would you please explain (1) what you mean by "4x5" camera, and how you can be so sure the image was not taken with such a camera, and (2) what you mean by your third comment regarding the highlights. Many thanks

Lovely personality coming through in this image - I agree with Kevin Gulstene about the absense of the neck, a pity, because the image is lovely otherwise - Regards

The most interesting perspective on a rose I've seen in a long time, Mary Sue - stunning result -exquisite colours - please fill me in: what do you mean by "one-pixel border added" ? I asume it has something to do with PS, but I have no experience of that program at all, and adding borders sounds like something one should be able to do ;-) Regards

I'm so used to admiring your exceptional work, Joggie, that it actually saddens me to disagree about an aspect of this photograph. IMO the shadowy parts bottom right are too overpowering - I realize you probably wanted to convey the effect of the water pulling back, leaving the drier sand behind, but slightly different angle might have done the trick for me. The colours and tonal range are lovely, although I miss the intensity of a previous shot, whith the two people looking for shells - on the other hand, if I had not seen that image, the colours in this one would have been accepted unconditionally. So, all in all a very successful image. Groetnis

Certainly very different - fascinating because of the undisclosed origin of this practise - would have liked a crop just left of the vertical wire - well seen.

How many times does one get the opportunity to photograph such a magnificant scene! Taken from a plane? Great shot - lovely colours! Why is ist called "ranier"?
Please explain to me, being a total beginner: should a huge aperture like f/1.8 not render everything in front of, and behind the mountain top, totally out of focus - what is it that I don't get - please help me understand. Many thanks. Regards

Jon, I also like the portrait version better - the top part of the grave in the foreground of the landscape version is distracting - may the world never forget, why is it that they do?

What a striking image - the title so fitting: indeed, "There is Life after Death" - I don't agree with Jon - your portrayal of the title you chose makes this image different and striking.
