Just a smimple last minute idea. Glad it ribboned... thank you... and glad it took the red as I thought the winner was a better representation of the idea.

I would have picked this one as the winner. I think it's got more desirable photographic qualities as well as a more subtle composition. Very well done, congrats!
I don't know. . .this version is pretty awesome. I kinda go for the dark sultry look, so I probably would have given this one the blue-ribbon edge -- but they are both great and deserve top spots. CONGRATULATIONS!
Congrats on a well deserved ribbon my friend. Nice to see you back and in full form. I am looking forward to more masterpieces from you in the coming year.
at least your bow is bigger and your shot is not so "in my face"...I have problems with these shots...but your's is more discreet...color, lighting and focus good...
Nice I like the way you chopped off her head from this image making her shadowed body the focal point so few nudes are done so tastefully. Maybe just a bit to much wrapping paper for me though.ha,ha
I didnt enter the challenge this week, but I had the same idea as you for this shot, so bonus point for thinking like me =) this is beautiful, I wouldnt have been able to pull it off this well great job
