I agree beautifully light.
Your dodging and burning has brought out the detail and a great level wonderfully.

A very beautiful image, superb lighting. I also feel that it's underrated but I think the very prominent white line in the border may have cost you a vote or two. Congrats on 11th place.

A very strong image that deserves a much higher placing. The simplicity is so well stated with such a restful repose. Congratulations on your 11th place.

I don't think the border helps this photo, but I like the photo a lot. Excellent detail and expressiveness. (BTW, I use borders sometimes myself.) 7

Thick, black outer border is distracting, but photo is well lit and has good tonal range and fits theme well.

Lose the white square ant it would be perfect

A very contemplative rendtiton. Personally I would have made the white even thinner and then just off white to preserve its solemn feel. Very nice work. Bump.

Too heavy of a border, IMHO, but still a great shot....I think the black negative space would have had more of an impact
