Came in 4th. My highest rated at 6.969.
Only problem was a "no editing rules" challenge that allowed for combining images to create a photo.
I think mine was one of the few that were actually straight images with minor adjustments.
Seriously, I don't live in Iceland nor do I have DrJOnes type ladies hanging around so I don't think I've ever been at a point where I expected an image of mine to have ribboned. Scored higher yes but not ribbon. Those are left for the usual suspects. Oh damn, I was suppose to be serious. Nevermind. :P
Love this thread - so many great images, some of the more memorable on the site, and of course the non-ribbon shots very rarely get the attention they deserve.
I never thought this would ribbon, but I had really hoped it would do better. It was for the Noise/Grain challenge, and I really love the shot, but....
In any other challenge this would have done a million times better, I think, but the quality of entries was incredibly high on the Self Portrait challenge.
This is one of my favorite self-portraits from that challenge, and i guess it's the most surprising placement i've seen.
But, i didn't even vote in that challenge... sorry.
