Hi, Shirley:This is a truly a lovely photo.
Funny, it actually reminds me of a Shania Twain music video.
Very nicely done!
Cheers,

Good work! This is a beautiful shot. Lorraine F #708Elaine S. Robbins August 24, 2001
I like this as well. I think it would be even stronger in black and white. The color in many ways distracts from the mostly black/dark and white of the subject, I think. Have you tried desaturating it just to see? Nonetheless a beautiful photo!Elaine #710

Hi,I tend to agree with Jim on this one. Although the B&W is nice, I find it washed out in certain areas and not having enough contrast in others. Perhaps, this may have been different had you shot this photo on B&W film using special filters.
Personally, I like the colour version the most.

AWESOME SHOT!! I love it, I live both the color and black and white, but I think the color is the best with this shot. Wow, it's so great. #722Vasko August 25, 2001
Great shot, no doubt (color or B&W, by the way, I like the B&W better), but I was just wondering what it would look like if the top of the arch was included…. perhaps it was too high, though.Rock on,
Vasko

I think I like the black and white better - it seems more dramatic to me. But whatever you like best! #755

Shirley,I must say that I am stunned that this photo did not make it into the finalists.
However, you really do have a lovely photo here, and you should be very pleased. I would also encourage you to re-submit it into this month's contest as well.
All the best,
