Besides all the fanfare, confetti falling and ticker-tape parade for winning your first ribbon, I wanted to say what an absolutely amazing image this is and what a superlative job on the post-processing.
This picture has a genuine, timeless quality about it and can see this standing the test of time and having all the wow factor 100 years from now - a shot I would be proud as hell to have taken.

Wow and congratulations. If I had voted on any of the B/W photos I would have given this a 10. I wish I had. I love this shot. I especially love this shot since it was taken with the same camera I have. I hope one day I will have a shot that is as good as yours. |

Like this one best of the ribbon winners, very "old school" feel I get from it, like it could have been taken during the turn of the last century, nice work! Went to my faves. |

The other two ribbons would have been more or less as good in colour. Monochrome makes this one. Shoulda won. |

My favorite of the challenge. This is a wonderful study in B&W, very film-like. The textures and grain are perfect and the composition has a great leading line. It draws my eye straight through with chapel anchoring the scene. I gave it a 9 but after studying this more, I have to bump to a 10. |

I gave this a 9 on my first voting run through, but I am raising it to a 10 - I can find nothing that I would change, or that I wish had been done just that little bit better - Perfect. |
