A very beautiful image, superb lighting. I also feel that it's underrated but I think the very prominent white line in the border may have cost you a vote or two. Congrats on 11th place.
A very strong image that deserves a much higher placing. The simplicity is so well stated with such a restful repose. Congratulations on your 11th place.

A very contemplative rendtiton. Personally I would have made the white even thinner and then just off white to preserve its solemn feel. Very nice work. Bump.
