wow this is such a beautiful picture!!!

Very nicely done!

Wow this is amazing, the lighting is fantastic and it's just all around a great photo I don't know what you could have done better! You have my vote.

Holy crap, a picture that actually stands out and isn't voted on a gazillion times! This is the best I've seen so far in this category hands down. Lighting, expression, everything. I'm very disappointed with these contests, people shouldn't be able to vote on a picture more then once. I admit I did, and I'm not really proud of it. But no one will see my work otherwise, because other people vote for themselves and bury the decent photographers work under a bunch of junk. Anyway, enough of my rambling, this is a great picture and deserves many more votes!

love it you got my vote

I saw this one before the contest started and I loved it... still do!

I don't know how so many votes got here, especially more votes than views is obviously wrong, but thanks for the enthusiasm. I'd rather have legit votes than some amorous fan doing me a 'favor'. Regardless, I know votes don't matter here and only merit does. Please only vote once. Thanks fans.

I'm so sick of the flawed voting system. 180 votes 54 views. this is contest is such a waste of time.

I agree with you. I am disappointed it happened to me too. The programming isn't that hard to control voting either by cookies or ip or whatever. Why doesn't VH1 have the budget to hire code monkeys to make a better site that is fair? Please quit voting repeatedly for me. I have more integrity in my work than this. You are making me look bad. Thanks for the love but it back fired.

I LOVE the lighting....it's brilliant!
