Awesome use of lighting as ever. Good luck !

That brazzen hussy! Showing her petticoat like that!

(Really nice shot)

Very dramatic sky and a beautiful, clear shot.

Nice history. Lovely old lighthouse. I'd love to get a shot of that one just to have it on my phone.

Thanks to share this piece of history...

Congratulation for the great composition and gorgeous photo. I want to tell you once more that you are an artist, not only a photographer...

Congratulation, you deserve first place !

Congratulations on 1st place, totally deserved.

Awesome scene. Looks like it was cut right from a high production movie. Great job author.

Awesome ! Brilliant. Well done

Wonderful shot, love all the details and lighting

quality is of course excellent, but I'm especially impressed by all the thought that has gone into the whole scene.

Very nice. I like the small details, like the posters and the Detective License etc.

i knew that it was you, well done again

Congrat Mr. Artist... you are great!

Congratulations on 1st place, totally deserved.

So beautiful....as usual! Congratulations!

Congrats , really beautiful

Congrats karaflazz

Awesome pic - well done.

So creative, well done author.

Excellent composition!

Great idea, thread nest

Thanks. You have enough cheeses there for another 5 contests

Just for my education. What is that big brown thing on the right?

What can I say more than: Fantastic
You are not only a photographer, you are a very creative person and it makes
the total difference in all your shoots.

Wow ! Amazing !

Stunning as always.

Love your imagination and composition! Great! Congrats!

I don't think that copper rusts. Cute idea.

Lovely photo, but;
'Rolls of thread are not allowed just like woven cloth, knitted garment and so on, only the thread itself can be shown.'

One of the most powerful entries ever on PXL.

"Faved" this one before. Still glad I did. Love this shot

congratulations, very powerful image!

Nice shot ! The low angle makes the picture really powerfull !
I went there when I was child ... If I remember well, it's just a monument long the road with nothing else around (like temples or other statues ... ) ... ? ...

Friend, I certainly didn't mean anything personal by my comment. If I had to guess, Id say that maybe the noise reduction was up a little too high. That can cause this effect sometimes. The model, pose, lighting etc are great... but the skin is just a little off.

I agree with dem90. A lovely shot (and model) but the skin doesn't really look real anymore.

There is a bit too much post-editing to this photo. I don't know what you did, but her skin looks waxy, and unreal and her eyebrows are almost nonexistent

Oh, so cute! I love his stripes with the background stripes.

Sweet, is that a flee on it's nose?

Hello Diego - you're cute

Hi points for the great story.

Thank you for including that nice history. Too many people saw that movie "300" and think it was ONLY the 300 Spartans that held back Xerxes. Regardless, it WAS an amazing feat that deserves remembrance.

Btw: when can i come over for dinner?

Congratz! Absolute winner!

looks like something from LOTR or the Hobbit

Everything looks perfect in your picture, but for me, something is missing : just a little bit color to make this diner more appetizing.

I believe the contest is for a home "dinner" and not a "humble" feast

Love to see the sbs for this, the set up looks very creative.

Congratulations on an other 1st place, a beautiful photograph.
