I am very disappointed with how low this scored. I don't understand how people can't see the magic of this.
Well, you have at least one fan :-)

This looks much better full sized than it did in the thumb. It's nice.

Just a bit too harsh I think. The plants in the back remind me of amoebas. Nice composition, but I would like it more if it were warmer and more subtle.

Maybe a bit oversharpened but this is really nice. Magical in a way.

I have been sitting here for a while, trying to find the words to describe this photograph, and I just can't.
The play of light is breathtakingly beautiful, and robs me of all words. Instant 10 and a fav, and I sincerely hope another commenter comes along that can express the beauty of this photo in more eloquent ways.
"The Silence is Deafening" comes to mind.
Its so funny to me that this looks like absolutely nothing as a thumbnail

Nice concept but too blown out. May be framing it down to left bottom would work better

Talk about nailing the challenge! This is awesome! I hope some one dosen't whine about blow out, because in my opinion that only makes the photo more powerful!!
