This is my second pass at this shot, and the first time I noticed the blue and red ribbons within ribbons. Hopefully other voters will have seen them as well. Great lighting on this; shadow management is perfect.

Missing Blue

Great portrait, the eyes and expression are amazing. The blue is more of a flower than a ribbon though.

Greeting from the Critique Club

You won the (not-so) coveted brown ribbon with your first entry to DPC. Hope that doesnt discourage you from entering other challenges.

While the shot didn't score well, I feel that it really does meet the challenge well. This photo shows life and death together in the same frame. Visually, however, the composition could be improved. Perhaps getting lower to the ground to get a different perspective may have improved the shot.

In the end, you did get a favorite, which doesnt happen very often, so there is a small victory there.

Nice shot, and well captured drop. I find the whites to a bit gray however. Either way, I like it, and gave it a 6.

Well shot.. I think the ribbon has nice flow, just as the wine would have.

Nicely shot... I like the motion in the polarizer... took me a while to notice it. Only critique is that Im not crazy about the background.

There are other ribbons

True, there are other ribbons, but the challenge does mention DPC ribbons. Regardless, I like this shot, I think the background is nice and smooth. I gave it a 6.
