Gold

Hello! Congratulations on being my number one. The reason is quite simple. I love the colour selection. The colours on the butterfly are so subtle and delicate. The butterfly is also quite sharp and you can see all of it's detail. I feel it works very well with the contrasting B&W background. The shallow depth of field works well too. Over all a brilliant image. Well done and thanks for sharing in my competition.

Hello! When I first saw this image I knew it was going to be in my top ten. It was a tough decision between this one and a few others. But what I love about this shot is the sharpness of the model and I love the way she stands. The colour gold is also very warming. This image makes me want to dance in the sun. The floating balloons in the sea breeze give it a magical feel as well. Great shot, well done and thanks for entering.

Hello! I love the golden glow of the rolling hills in the background. It's really soft with the haziness in the distance. The old farm house in the foreground is pin sharp and give the image an essence of mystery. It makes me wonder who has lived there. Great shot, well done and thanks for sharing.

Hello! I love the playfulness of this image. The model looks like they are having fun. The lighting is sublet and works well for the image. I also love how the glitter sparkles and glimmers. Well done with your attempt with high speed photography because it has really worked. Thanks for entering.

Hello! This image makes me want to rush out and purchase some yummy honey. I love the presentation and lighting works well as it reflects through the golden honey and the glass jar. Image is also pin sharp. Brillant shot, well done and thanks for sharing.

Hello! This image was chosen for my top ten because to me it look like a painting. It makes me want to reach into the image and grab a juicy clementine. The lighting, which looks to be from above, give a subtle shine to the fruit. And the greenery give a nice contrast the the gold. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

Hello! I love the composition of this shot. The leading lines lead my eye straight to the top of the tower. If capturing the tower to the top was a challenge, I believe you pulled it off well. I really like the golden effect you have created with the lights from the tower, they seem to shower the night sky with a warming glow. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Hello! I love this image because the golden water looks like a piece of golden tin foil. The sun set/rise which ever it is is perfect for this competition. And the silhouette is well balanced in the image. Love it, well done and thanks for sharing this one.

Hello! This Golden Pavilion looks magical nestled in the trees. I love how you have capture a subtle reflection of the building in the lake and foreground. The gold draws my eye straight to the structure. And the winter feel makes me want to stow myself away on a relaxing retreat. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Hello! This image should be in a fairy tail book. I loved it as soon as I saw it. I love the softness of the lighting just to give essence to the mushroom. I am almost expecting a wee elf or fairy to poke it's little face from behind or fly above the mushroom top. Well done and thanks for sharing.
