Magnificent feet, magnificent flair, magnificent beast!

Great monochrome too.

I do like this. A lot. I've given it a 9. It was a 10, but I couldn't shake the sense that this is more about the processing than the image itself - of course they complement; but I feel you have begun to lose your vision, your photography with your chosen edit.

I do like the overall motif and the lighting though. A lot.

'Merica

This is my top pick. There's something so evocative here and a degree of immersion too.

It's like you've captured a perfect life moment and put it in front of us.

Perfect choice of toning and selective blur.

For me, this doesn't represent the sort of image I'm hoping to enjoy in this challenge. Of course there's nothing technically wrong with the image, but it holds little interest for me. I'm one of those DPC members that likes the blur, the texture, the unusual motif and will often be pursuing the 'posthumous' thread. You'll know yourself that this isn't that sort of image - for which some voters may be very pleased! I'm just not one of them.

For me the 'Art' challenges are about embracing the avant-garde garde, going beyond (or falling short of) conventional representations, this image doesn't really do that for me; but I do like the intersecting ripples and the blue light.

The snail may be slow, but this image is way out ahead of the crowd!

Sensational - I'm glad Im coming back for a commenting pass. I under-rated this previously.

Such softness and sensitivity; great light, perfectly matched DOF.

Intimate and engaging. Bumping to a 10.

Pretty scene. I like the rush of the water in the foreground pulling the viewer into the scene.
