Very cool, i am surprised by the 1 votes... someone was JEALOUS! :)
I really like the idea of having some content in the picture with the couple standing there (for 30 seconds). It adds to the picture! |

You certainly deserve both ribbons ! Both are stunning images and obviously different , tho of the same scene.
Congratulations ! |

Probably one of the more exciting double fister's on this site.
Very glad to see how well each image did, even in spite of their similarities.
Sometimes I feel conflicted about images and their suitability for one thing or another... What a great way to do things by submitting to the Free study as well.
Imagine how embarrassed the vote knockers would have been if this had been taken by another photog who was with you that evening (such scenarios have occurred in the past). This alone ought to give anyone who voted down some pause.

Both images are stunning! The subject may be the same but each image stands on it's own merits. Different clouds, different pose of the couple and different capture of the light and color.

I guess not too many came back to mark it down for duplication. An awsome picture...the 2 ribbons prove it! Congrats! :-) |
Actually my avg score stayed above 8.1 before Sunday night. The score dropped sharply after the Free Study XVII announcement. Almost all the lowest votes came on Monday; not due to duplication, just because attackers found the target. If you observe the "voting breakdown", I got two 1s and three 3s for this photo but all clear for the other one.

Don't comment on here often, but just wanted to say that although two almost identical pictures were submitted in the two challenges, the completely different moods they evoke are testament to the photographer, both in the capture and the PP.
They are both beautiful, but this one is my favourite. |

Thank you so much everybody, especially to all the commenters and voters. :-)
I think this is my once in life picture. The clouds, the lights, the reflections and the romantic couple have to all present at the right location. I wonder if I can find another lucky chance to shoot a photo like this again.
Thanks you all for the comments.

| This is a familiar sight. A superb shot. I don't think there is anything wrong with entering the same (or almost the same) shot in two or more challenges, I just don't see what there is to gain. For the record I prefer the light in the first shot. Good work |

Wow, the lights in the fog make it look un-natural...looks like a CGI rendering. 10!
Comment added later:
I see you won second in the free study open chalange for a picture almost identical to this one (almost identical composition...just a bit less fog). I guess you technicaly did not break the rule that you can use the same picture for two challanges... However, I think this one turned out nicer than the one you submitted for the other challange...so...I'll keep my vote where it is. (maybe a first place for this one...if people do not change their minds after seeing it in the top three from the other challange?) |

| This is an absolutely beautiful shot. A postcard waiting to happen! HOWEVER, I'm disappointed that you felt the need to submit an (almost) IDENTICAL photo to a concurrent challenge (Free Study XVII - "Golden Gate's colorful night). I feel cheated. |

| I think I'm only going to make one comment in this challenge. It has a lot of excellent photos. But yours, 'The Place Where Romance Starts' is also where the Blue Ribbon will end...imho. I can't think of anything helpful to add, you've done it all. It's a prefect 10. |

| The way the couple on the left is lit up is perfect. I love the GG bridge and have taken photos of it from various spots. I never would have thought of getting a great picture like yours from that far away. |

Spectacular shot. I love the couple on the left who are there but not stealing the scene. The sea wall on the left takes you eye up to them to the bridge then across the frame.
The lighting is what really makes this shot a winner. I'll predict that this is top 10 if not a blue ribboner. Simply stunning. |
