Top marks for this inspirational image. Your point of view really makes it for me bringing us down and showing what is up ahead. You have the darkneses of the distance which gives mystery, and the snowy slippery road which gives a sense of danger. The photograph is well exposed giving white snow with no overcast of blue. What is that orange light giving so much warmth...I like it, just can't figure out what it is? Very lovely shot DMitry, I used to live and work in an environment like this in Northern Canada.

This is a well composed photograph which includes the entire uniform. Visually he is framed between two dark hued objects and that makes him stand out even more. Sharp, clear technically nicely handled. Not FAIR at all...I live in Thailand and do not have a shot like this but thanks to you, your image has inspired me to find the photograph I'm missing. Thank you.

I think I'm in love! How could anyone resist these dreamy eyes looking at you? Sharp on the eyes, good dof used and the colour palette is so co-ordinated...from the sofa to the beige of the flower pot everything works here. I can see Cyrillic writing on the back poster...what doe it say because the dof used has blurred it nicely. Caught at eye level of this handsome boy brings him smack to our eyes...and hearts. Top notch work.

Top notch. Excellent through and through with no dust spots showing and I love the hot and cold feel. Really a great POV. This is an inspirational photo for me. I will never look at a window the same way again. Thank you for this post.

Moderator says:

goal:
You could include the stem and leaves, or just concentrate on the bloom. It might be a bud, a full blossom, or anywhere in-between, but having more than one will make your entry off them.
The shapes in the background, is quite clearly more flowers.

I love the story of this image and it is nice to meet you and your daughter as well. She is a free and spontaneous soul but you are her anchor. The image is sharp and you probably took it with a point and shoot and kept that heavy gear (around your neck) for shooting your next winning shot for pyxleyes.

Ha..brilliant. What an imagination. This had a tremendous impact on me, so much so I actually called my L brained husband to see it. It's really really top notch. PS. My husband liked it (and that is really saying something).
