 Choirs were singing. I wasn't on drugs!

I cut the ribbon into a posterboard, lined the back with wax paper, bought three colored bulbs, and ran a fog machine in front of it. Topaz Adjust and some Dodging to make it look "heavenly"

The colour is off a bit from the true colours of the ribbons, but I think it works for this image, in that it makes it look rustic in a way.

Reminds me of legend of zelda. I give it a 7, I'm interested to read how you managed to do this.

I wonder how many of us put that much importance on winning a ribbon? Good job! 8

Hmm, turned out a bit more green than blue. There's some strange artefacts in this shot, some horizontal banding, and looks like a lot of noise too. I like the idea, and it's quite cleverly done, but I think the processing has caused it to look a bit strange.
