Splendid catch of this spectacular, colorful dragon against that contrasting, black background. The reflection adds an extra touch. Very well positioned, too.

Undeniably a fine shot. I considered at first whether this was simply a recording of another artist's work but consider this more than just a tribute, it is a creative interpretation and so you get into my top picks for its technical excellence and great use of light. Fabulous for SOOC though I do not factor PP into my judgment as to whether I rank an image any more or less because of it.
