Excellent image. It is a shame that it only got 2nd place. I think that it should be higher. #1892307Wendy Stevenson September 27, 2005
Beautiful Tom. Such amazing clarity and detail. Congratulations on your win!! #1893319Mary N C. Taitt October 12, 2005
WOW! Beautiful, congratulations!!!!! #1944193Carolyn J. Connolly June 30, 2008
GORGEOUS image, Tom...and MOST deserving of its Second Place recognition!! The clarity of detail, textures, rain droplets, lighting, tones AND composition here all are EXCEPTIONAL!! :o)The buds and flowers on this plant truly are pretty, but here in Australia Prickly Pair is considered a noxious weed!! Your image just shows, though, that there is still beauty to be found in 'weeds' - LOL!! ;o) #6123086
