Wendy, I thought I had commented on this during the voting but see that I did not. Gave it a 9 which is really high for me. I love the textures in the foreground. Glad to see it made the top five, despite your earlier prognosis that a 6.6 would not make it in the top 10!! Congratulations.

I see your Scottish ancestors' influence here... with tartan, and then thistle, and finally the sporran. Lovely F&B!

Reminds me of the foothill mountains between Calgary and Banff. Lovely light.

I like this. It's an interesting creation, or so I'm guessing based on the textures in the upper left corner, which look like fabric, or perhaps a painted surface, but perhaps I'm wrong. The title makes me ponder... you can get "white out" conditions in snow, is there a name for the same phenomenon in a rain storm?

Despite the adverse conditions suggested by the title I find this very tranquil and restful to look at.

It can be so entertaining watching the activity of these little fellows as they follow the water line when the waves come in then retreat, and they seem to do it over and over! IMO this suffers a bit from the horizon not being a stronger element, but I enjoyed the image overall. A composition of textures.

Cool! Great job finding the railing to complete to circle.

I enjoyed this. I love the series of quite different bands with their different textures etc. and the change in the light. What I also enjoyed was that my eye at first wanted to interpret the line behind the trees as the horizon. Sorting out that why that was happening caused me to linger and enjoy the image a little longer. Thanks.

Lovely image. Lots to enjoy and explore. The branch and the series of islands are both very effective at leading one's eye to the horizon. At first glance I thought it was a negative, or an infra red, but I guess it's just the onset of winter! One of my highest scores. Good luck.!
