Thanks to those who voted/commented.

Happy with my first 6+ score but a bit disappointed with the rank.

Are the clouds symbolic of a hill? Where is the fool? The connection is a bit vague.

Bonus point for bringing back memories, I haven't seen a box of Lions in about 10 years :)

WOW this was a flop! I can't believe how badly it did. I must be the most erratic contestant, 86% in my first challenge and 4% in my second. Oh well, I'm still new.

I liked the way Karl could take a person and capture them in the moment which is what I tried to do - the soft focus was my input - I felt it gave the sense of her being ghost-like and adding to the "creepy" mood of the image, obviously not a very popular choice. I guess I never really did Karl much justice did I? (that was a rhetorical question so please don't have a go at me)
