Brilliant

That was just my thought too Ade :-P, you're just too good author.

Ooooh, I wonder who this could be.......... . Been waiting for an entry like this.

CONGRATS!!

author, I expected more than this from you...

You didn't think this might have looked better in color?

Have you ever been in a P.F. Changs? The ones in Salt Lake, there is nothing Asian about them. All waiters, hosts and cooks are college kids.

Very unique, good job!!

Nice work on the colors! GL! (like you ever need it )

Interesting for a Chinese restaurant, the depiction of the horses seem more European *shrug*

wonderful! hehe to RayTedwell! giggle @ kyricom! author, you are just brilliant!

Nice shot, but don't you get tired of people telling you not to be so negative... ahahaha - you know its true when you become a dad your jokes really do become lame!

I was going to do this idea as well but I couldn't find a model and my face is just too recognizable.

Great idea..well done!

Which side is the photo?

Great (as usual).

Wow! The high resolution shows a much more dramatic shot. The left part seems to be on fire and the centers of the flowers are just perfect!

congrats

CONGRATS!! One of my fav's!

WOW! Check out those colors!

VERY NICE! GL!!! LOVE THE DOF

Very cool shot, love the colors too. Well done author.

Stunning

Beautiful

Very nice shot = )

Congrats, and glad you didn't think I was being silly = )

CONGRATS!!!! THis is one picture I had to keep coming back to because it was so unique and just abssolutely wonderful!

hmm....this is what i think exactly when i read finish the contest details ...what came to my mind is ... smoking and bubble combined together....and i didn't smoke so i am waiting for peoplpe to come up with this kind of entries ...WELL DONE!

*phew* Glad to hear it. I thought you were smarter than that, glad to know it's true.

ummmmm... then do yourself and your family (present and future) a HUGE favor and quit. The smoke bubbles were cool, but I'd rather have my dad

Cool shot. Reminds me of my childood when my dad would do that for us kids - until he died from lung cancer

Ok really silly observation, I like the hand in this picture, the only thing I would do for next time is use hand lotion so that the skin around the nails doesn't look dry as it reflects the light more it seems. But other wise super awesome shot, very creative, and I wish I had thought of that.

ROFL @ cocor
great image author!

You magician, no photographer!

Very creative thinking, and I like the hand in the shot.

giggle! so smart! wow! such a great image! such a bad habit! but such a really great image...

I like the hand, and the fact that the image is tall and narrow, it really works great! The light is almost perfect! another very impressive shot author!

I think I know who you are. How did you get the bubble to stay open like that? This is definitely unique! GL!

is that a cig or something else? LOL I've tried this before blowing the smoke from my cig to the bubble but only got it once and it popped before I could snap the shot. LOL Great pic though!!!

awesome job---In my opinion, it would be neat without the hand in there.

very clever, and different.

this is a very interesting concept.. hhmm.. I'll try this for sure..

Agrees! GL!

Excellent..well done!

nice!!

SOOO PRETTY!!! I love taking these shots but haven't had much luck with the rain work for me lately but maybe now that we have a tropical storm comin through I might have a chance! Great work btw!

And also congrats for a great first place, Adam!

Congrats for your third place, Adam!

LOVE IT !!

the colors are fabulous!

That's more like it Kyricom
