This has LVicari's post-processing feel to it. Breath-taking photo. I hope it wins. Perfect 10!

Good to see that someone has actually photographed more than 1 person from the back. Lovely picture!

Wow, I picked my blue for this challenge a few photographs back, but now after having seen this one, I am not so sure anymore. This could be the one! Simply incredible shot!!! I think one thing that adds to the awesomeness of this photograph is the patters/color in the bottom of board. Easy 10!

This is my pick for the blue. Great creativity! Love the sepia tones too. Just an awesome photograph! I can see some people may have wanted to see the full tree, but not a big enough deal to mark it dow for. I wonder how the photo would have looked if you lowered your angle somewhat more and had the little girl a little off-center. Great work!

What an awesome photograph! Love the fact that the subject is wearing dark cloths because it helps the snow that is falling behind him a lot more visible. I wonder what your aperture was here. f/1.8?

Love this one! Great choice going with sepia. Got an 8 from me.

Your pictures are great but they would do even better in the challenges if you make sure that you take advantage of the 800 pixel-long rule. Remember you can go as long as 800 pixels along the longest side of your photograph. Make them bigger and I am sure they would score higher. When you save for web, if you are over 300 KB size, reduce the quality instead of the size.

Great lighting and a technically sound photograph and I gave it an 8, but I can see why to some people the image might seem a bit controversial. Perhaps, the five 1's that you got was the result of that. Again, great lighting and processing.
