My out-and-out favourite in this challenge. Originally gave it a 9 and have just bumped it up a notch to 10. Excellent bokeh and absolutely stunning image all round. Well done... hope to see this ribbon. Deserves the blue IMO.
... back to add that it IS my favorite from this challenge, it's GOING in my favorites, and I would be delighted to see this on the upper left of the front page.
If this isn't ursula, I think she'd be proud to call this her own. Great work.
This image reminds me to appreciate the lightness of being just within a simple bubble anchored to the world and yet surrounded and encompassed by the glorious and ethereal light. I love this image! (I'm going to sneak at least one "BRAVO!" in here because you really deserve it!)
