Congratulations Samantha!

Despite the comments saying it could have been one of my pictures, let me tell you they are wrong. There are many things I would have done differently: you definitely do have a style of your own, no discussion about that! I am also very glad that you, Judi, Jen, Lydia, Alex, Minso, and many others are really pulling DPC up, towards better processing skills: while I personally don't care much about the website old interface, I do believe that good photos can only benefit from good post-processing (see 1X, 500px, DeviantArt, etc.), which implies mastering the tools of the trade. DPC was lacking in that regard in my opinion, and this wave of change is for the best!

So thanks for your hard work, please continue! And to the next challenge! I can't refuse the invitation you sent me in your comment ;-)

I'm pretty sure that's the first time I ever see a car used that way. Unusual to say the least! Great entry, perfectly fitting the challenge. Congratulations on the nice finish.

I love your experiments, and frankly, this score is disappointing given how interesting your entry is. I hope we'll see more of your creativity soon.

Great work Judi, I really like this one. Great concept. It's a shame challenges are still limited to 800 pixels, I hope this will be raised soon so that entries with that much details could benefit from it. Congratulations on your ribbon.

Johanna, this is one of the most impressive photo I ever saw on DPC. The work you put in it is astounding, and it really shows. The processing is top notch and succeeds in rendering an oily aspect that immediately catches the eye. The backdrop is also very convincing (even if I can spot a few folds near the castle), and so is the outfit, especially the dress. I probably wouldn't have resisted to alter a little bit the left of her smile using 'liquify', just to mimic the original one, but proposing your own version of it is probably more interesting.

What can I add? A fantastic photo. And of course, this is the winner of the contest by a large margin in my opinion.
