Steve Marsh’s Comment:

” I usually do not pick flowers, but this one is abstract. It contains rainbows and water glistening. It has swerve splash lines of movement. It’s a dramatic image; I like the lines that travel through the image the most. It has vibrancy, life-flow and a dreamlike feel. This image is different and unique. ”

First Place • Open Black and White

Steve Marsh’s Comment:

” In spite of being very dark with low light, the shot detail goes all the way back. The darks and lights are very nicely exposed. The composition is nicely done. This shot has a story. I would put it on my computer and stare at it.”

Steve Marsh’s Comment:

” Can I buy this one? It’s incredible. I had to get up and look closely. I really like the way the detail is lost on top of the mountain. All lines point to the figure. It’s a very nice image.
