Lovely. Well seen. This has an Andrew Wyeth feel to it.

Great composition. Very striking. I love the simplicity of this.

A Contemporary Path

Nice leading lines, splashes of color, and great depth of field. I can't make out whether that is moisture on the underside of the foreground railing or a texture inherent in its design, but anyway it is nice and sharp.

Parallelism in Daily Life

Too bad it ended up here cause it's a fun take on the parallel theme.

Escape

Cute idea. I think less separation between the egg and the chicken might have helped. My eyes keep jumping back and forth between the two areas of the image.

Down the Drain
by Magnumphotography

Comment:
I'm guessing these are overlapping blue plates, with white/purple trim, and the top one is tilted for the egg to slide, and with the stripes refracted through the viscous egg white in some areas. Just a guess, but anyway it's a creative and fun image.

Lovely capture with the amount of the eyes visible here really showing this kitten's enormous concentration. Excellent focus along with great use of shallow DOF. Love it!

Controlled Chaos

This didn't come up in the partial voting I did. It's just wonderful. So well seen. I love the "splashes" of green and blue with white bands adjacent to them. Also the fans of feathers in the extended wings. Congratulations on a top 10 finish.

Congratulations on being member of the week. I really like this image. You managed the placement of the reflections against the horizontal curving lines really well.

Early Morning in Central Park

I like the shapes and patterns of the bench and the use of black and white. It feels like the bench is the main subject so to my eyes the right half of the picture is mainly a distraction, visually. I think the image would be improved with much of the right side cropped.
Later: this does not bother me now nearly as much as it did originally, perhaps just a slight crop to eliminate that tall tower!! Bump ...
