WOW! Thanks to everyone who left me great comments during the voting letting me know you thought I was in the top 10. I think I broke the update button on this one.
Special thanks goes out to my models who had never met each other prior to this shoot. What chemistry they pulled off, eh? I'm so lucky to have natural models. You may recognize the male model in this shot from a previous photo shoot titled, "Come Out Virginia" for the "Odd Couple Challenge."

Hey Bro, Congrats on your first ribbon! Way to kick it, with a BLUE!! You have great ideas and make them come to fruition through creative set up and knowledgeable use of the camera. Keep up the awesome work. You can count on me for assistance when ever you need it!!! Peace.
This is Lindsay over at Kits.... I had to get an account just to tell you how impressed I am with the photo. Glad I made sure to check it out! See ya next time you come in!
Excellent photograph and well deserving of the blue. I remember hearing some podcast about how you could only hope to ribbon one day. You did it - congrats!
Dont know what the big deal is about. Its an ok photo. I have seen alot better from you. Like the "Missed" photo. The model in that pic had great expression and the cammo job was great.
Anyway congrads on the ok photo getting the blue ribbion.
Try not to take so long next time.
Ok, the amount of congratulations is embarrassing! Enough already! LOL. Yeah, it feels pretty good to finally ribbon. Took me over a year to do it but hopefully it won't take another year to get my second. I'm already trying to plan my next shoot. So much pressure now. Thanks again to everyone who commented before and after. This proves you don't have to take a picture of something controversial in order to get comments. :)
WAY TO GO!!!! So many congrats on your BLUE RIBBON!!!!!! I'm sure all the folks from Generation X are cheering you on too :-) Great shot and congrats again!
This picture cought my eye immediately on the first page of the challenege entries. If I could vote, it would've been a 10. If I could vote higher it would've been a 20. You can easily sell it. I usually see such pictures on //www.gettyimages.com, especially in TAXI collections.
Even though your obsession before getting and taking the shot drives me bonkers (I know that is putting it mildly), I am proud of you and your final results. Practice definitely makes better!
If I could vote in member challenges, this picture would be a 10. Exposed well, great composition and your concept for battle of the sexes, and the way you showed this to the viewer is priceless. Had me laughing, and that counts for something! Great job, top 10 in my opinion.
fantastic shot, great take on the theme. The lighting and composition are excellent and I love the expression on her face as well. One of the best of the bunch easily
never understood how men got into the whole football over my wife thing dont think it will ever happen to me... sweet picture i really like her expression.
This one stands out for me. I'll be really surprised if it doesn't win blue. You kept it simple but still interesting and concentrated on good lighting. Excellent.
