I too, thought this would score higher. Voters here almost always do the opposite of what I'm thinking! Stunning work.

Originally posted by Art Roflmao: Great finish, Susan! My two cents on what might have kept this from scoring even higher is the skewed perspective and the waviness. If you'd have kept the train in more realistic perspective and less wavy, I think it would have jumped up at least a couple spots. I could be wrong, but would've scored higher with me. Congrats nonetheless!

Thanks Art, but I don't buy the argument. Witness the same use of unrealistic perspective in this image. Of course, if Christophe had entered this exact pic in this challenge, it would be sporting a blue ribbon and a score in the high 7s or 8s, and everyone would be wetting their panties with praise.

An incredible image and memorial to Tom. I love how intent and peaceful he looks sitting at the head of all that power and excitement. The florid colors are handled with admirable restraint and greatly contribute to the overall intensity. A for sure ribbon winner.
