 I had 2 shots to decide between on this challenge. The general consensus of those around me seemed to think this one was best. As long as it score over 6.3 (above my overall average) I will be happy. Not my strongest entry on here recently, but I kinda like it.

This is really outstanding. I'm glad it made at least the top 100. Terrific dreamy feel to it. I love the title as well.

ah - what a shame. Just 0.004 below your stated target. I love the tones again - I think that a fraction more sharpening on the ladybird would have got you the extra vote you needed.

Great image! The soft focus of the background gives this a mysterious feel. The ladybug makes the image though.
