Absolutely gorgeous work Annie.
I really like the way you set this up. In my opinion it is just as good as the photo which won first prize. It should have come equal first.
Congratulations on third place.

    Thanks a lot Angel. It is indeed nice to hear that you like this, and it is ever so kind of you to grant it the 6 stars.

A beautiful still life created here. Love the blend of items, would make a beautiful card or even a very nice canvas piece, clarity and colors are beautiful. I think the lighting is a little too harsh from the left side. Still very beautiful. -Sherry

WAY nicerly done, great detail in each and every texture! The light is subtle, and sort of sweet, but most importantly for me, is the feel of waiting you captured, sharp from back to front and side to side! donkeyoatey

Nice shot!
I really do like this. I especially like the look of the lens effects. I like your idea here too. Good job.

Lovely still life shot. Well constructed in it's composition. The Topaz treatment works really well and I think overall it almost looks like a painting rather than a straight photograph. That's what makes it good. Excellent shot produced from, as you say, virtually nothing but a few grabs of stuff available.

Fabulous still life, and such a creative presentation. The hat is so lovely and very feminine, as are the flowers and the blouse. Each component compliments the others. Well done!

Really fabulous work Annie. You never fail to surprise and inspire me with your creativity and talent. The neutral shades and tones work so well together here and your editing is superb. This just screams 'holiday' and makes me want to step right into the frame and settle in that chair!
