Outstanding, beautiful image, congrats on the POTD! #9430870Mike F. Anderson May 27, 2011
Seeing POTD's everyday and they are, for the most part, all really nice shots, this image stands out greatly when comparing the "very good" with the "excellent". There are so many things right about this photo, that whether they were all planned in concept, or some just fell into place, the final result is a beautiful, exemplary photograph that illustrates the marriage of technical know how and the creative process of "concept to composition" in a wonderfully successful result. Congratulations on your POTD and well deserving recognition!This is the kind of image that makes me want to check out the person's gallery and looking through yours confirms that this is not just one of a kind, but one of many beautiful portraits that speak volumes about your passion and excellence and vision. #9432098
