There is something about this one I really love, the soft tones match the way they seem to be suspended in the air.

really well done

wonderful shot

sweet

great shot, but not a machine, my take on the contest was that coin slots referred to machines where you put money in as payment for something or I'm sure we would have had lots of piggy banks.

I assume the image was larger than 476px × 800px.
Suggest you upload the image again, and tick the check box again. I often find you need to do that if the High res wasn't uploaded the first time.

Lovely

it would be nice to have a high res.

What a wonderful gift.

Nice setup and photo

wonderful

I like the subtle colours

Lovely photo, but a little soft.

I was certainly not implying that you had not personally taken the photo. Just suggesting if you can't find one that fits the theme among your hundreds of photos, why not take a new one?

I know what you mean, I have idea, and must be up to about 60 shots or more, and still not happy.

Nice work, a bit more DOF the flower, and it would have been perfect.

I hope the M&M's aren't as old as the machine., Great find.

Lovely photo, just a shame about the roof in the background, that looks like it's coming off her hair. Always pays to check what's in the background.

great shot

lovely photo, hope she doesn't go out like that.

a high res would be nice, and add to the votes.

nice work

Thought of taking a photo?

nice find

lovely

Great, haven't seen one of those before

High res is now showing. The site does have a problem with physically large images that are below the 5MB size.
If you have photoshop, save to web, set the widest side to between 1400 and 1700 px and drop the quality to about 80% play with it to keep the file below 5MB.
Good luck

What a wonderful place, so many waterfalls, a wonderful set of photos.

Stunning as usual

Looks like a lovely walk, and a great SBS, thanks

great work

Nice bokeh, but the candle is rather soft too.

Too much white, IMO in the bottom right corner. I would crop just below the stem.

Congratulations on 2nd place, it's a beautiful photo, which could well have won.

Congratulations on 2nd place, wonderful photo.

Congratulations on 1st place, well deserved, not only is it a lovely photo, but you obviously put a lot of effort into it.
