Should have been in the top ten (but congrats on top twenty). Great candid.

I elected to use a rating table to decide on what value to assign during voting.
Here’s the table:
1 No Animal/People Interaction
2 Slightly Appealing, but no Animal/People Interaction
3 Moderately Appealing, but on Animal/People Interaction
4 Greatly Appealing, but no Animal/People interaction
5 Not Appealing, but possessing Animal/People Interaction
6 Slightly Appealing and possessing Animal/People Interaction
7 Moderately Appealing and possessing Animal/People Interaction
8 Greatly Appealing and possessing Animal People Interaction
9 Better than #8, and caused an audible sigh
10 Better than #9, and would likely declare it a favorite

7 - Beautiful shapes and character in the tree. Looks like the details is probably there 'wall sized' but underappreciated at this size.

Really loved this picture, reminds me of the old Rat-Pack. Excellent subject for B & W, save one issue. The Groom, dog and first fellow to the dog's right (as viewed) get a little lost in the shuffle against the large white flowers. this would have scored big with me if you had shortened the DOF to give the flowers a more mottled appearance or shifted the angle a bit to lose the flowers. At any rate, great picture!
