Graceful Great Grandma

This is a fine photo. Sure there are some strong highlights (some would say blowout) but overall its the high contrast (along with an engaging subject) that make this photo stand out.

Didn't vote this challenge, but I love this image, especially the background. The photo overall is lovely, but the hot spots on the bottom of the vase are distracting, as is the hot spot on the right hand side. Just cropping the right-hand hot spot would crowd the flowers too much, I think, so they would need to be moved a titch. If you ever try a reshoot, I'd love to see it in your portfolio.

Yowsa! How this shot fared so poorly in the challenge is beyond me. Excellent image. The color, composition and clarity are outstanding.

I like this photo a lot. I think you captured an interesting moment that defines grace quite well. Not quite a ballet dancer, but nice nevertheless.

Great, great shot. A very interpretive take on grace, but I like it a lot. 10

Quite a lovely rose you have here. Though the color is so soft that I think I would have preferred it in black and white. Very nice, in either case.

Wow, I agree with Kiwiness. You have one of the most even distribution curves with this pic that I have ever seen on this site...

That should tell you something. Namely that the photo itself and its relevence to the challenge is quite good, but that the subject matter was found distasteful by many.

I like the pic quite a bit, especially the toning. But then, I didn't vote this challenge.
