Very nice image, Shirley!
Congrats on the POD, and the award from Oz! Well deserved.
For me, the reflection doesn't do too much for me. I'm not a fan of 2D reflections.. so that's just me. :) I think this image (as amazing as it is) could stand very well alone with a very strong style without the reflection.
very nice composite work, and wonderful balance of colors, contrasts, and midtones.
well done!
cheers,
-joel

Hi Shirley,
All I can saw is wow - elegant creation. This is one of those occasions where a centered composition works perfectly. The subtle paint-like colors offer a perfect contrast against the bright white tones. Excellent work and congrats on the awards.

Dear Luis, thank you for fighting for my image.:) I did not know how much it would cost me to send my prints to Buenos Aires, since it had been VERY expensive to send them to Europe, so I sent small.
Talk to me privately, dear....if you can.

Dear Luis, I might also add, though, that it was the same size small print that was accepted and won a gold medal in the Austrian Super Circuit.:) Apparently, size was not a problem for them.
