I'm now completely convinced that this is a DNMC :( I feel so thick for not even considering that that an image should have been unexposed on more technical terms in the camera.. That thought didn't even come to my mind.
For each and every image I take I will inevitably pull the curves down.. That's like a major part of how I process images and ALL of my garden shots end up looking like this.. I think my friends would recognize this as mine a mile away :)
Thank you so much!! My first blue :D

Congratulations on such a well deserved win! I was one of your 8's and would have probably voted higher if I had studied this shot as much as I have now. This is truely a lovely photo.
I couldn't remember why your profile name was so familiar to me until I remembered that you were the first person to ever give me a comment on one of my photos, which encouraged me to start entering challenges - so thanks!
Urfa, this is beautiful...a very outstanding picture for sure...these are the same tones that I love...rich, rich and very dark tonal values...superb picture!!!
Congrats on your first blue. This was my joint favourite image in the challenge (I gave out two 9's). So dark, yet clarity perfectly retained. Great image.
I really like this shot. I really like that you really focused (compositionally and figuratively) on the highlights on the water drops. It almost gives the appearance of a vignette.
The tones and colors in this are absolutely beautiful. So rich. I hope it does well (I'm not voting), but to be honest, I love it like this and can't imagine it not in these dark tones. Of course that's without seeing it. Beautiful photo.
