Ohhh... my goodness! As my friend Roz would say, I am gobsmacked to win first place in this amazing challenge! When I saw the entries... all the phenomenal drone shots, and the amazing urban art... I all but dismissed any hopes of this being anywhere close to being a contender. I'm truly surprised!
I really appreciate all the nice comments. It's so funny tho. One commenter writes that it's the processing that turns this into art; and another says, "I wish you hadn't added the texture." But that's okay. I think it just confirms how subjective art is, so it's important to create your art your own way.
Anyway... THANK YOU!

oh .. just noticed your comment .. you are way to modest .. if i had your abilities i dont think i'd be gobsmacked to get the blue at all .. !! .. xx
Very nice. I like it a lot. I wish you hadn't done the texture, though. I think it draws the eyes away from the gorgeous luminosity and textures in the wings. It just doesn't need it, imo.
