i really cant imagine choosing between your entry and your 2nd choice .
i love them both .. and such wonderful black and white edits ..
what i particularly liked about your second choice was that it confused me ... with what i thought was a reflection .. like what was the reality and what was the reflection .. and even if it was a reflection .. may not have been that hard for other ppl to distinguish but for me it was .. and thats a good thing in my book .. the not knowing ..
loved the sweeping curve upwards in your entry btw ..
its one of those situations that many of us would encounter .. wondering how our other choices would have gone in the challenge ..
both your entry and your 2nd choice are awesome .. :)
