Alone in the mountains

This is an amazing photograph. It kind of looks like a bird house, which gives this photo a pretty cool perspective. I just love the editing of this. One of my highest votes.

This is quite lovely, I very much like it. Very clever idea, and I love the blue hue of that wall. The mask is a bit random. 7

I really like the idea, but there is a bit too much going on in this picture for me. Its very very busy. Meets the challenge. 6

Soft, serene and beautiful. I love the swirl in the water, and the contrast of color between the rocks and ocean 7

The Great Vanishing

This is super cool! Long exposure and then he left? And she was staying so still? Trying to figure out how you did this, I am very impressed. 8

Its interesting how small things can make a photograph. When I first saw this picture, I wanted to just hit it with a 6 and quickly move on. But then I spotted the little boy sleeping on the right, and that prompted me to look longer at the photograph and find it much more interesting. This photo tells a story, well done! 7

GAIA

This is a lovely portrait, and I really love all of the small touches here, especially the grass on her lips.
The only criticism I have is that the red leaf on her forehead is a huge draw for the eye because it is the brightest thing in the picture, and therefore draws our eyes away from HER eyes, which are stunning. Otherwise perfect. 8

Lovely landscape shot. It really gives a feel for the land. 7

Goodbye old bike

I really like the photo, especially the processing, but I do Not like the title. Before I saw the title, I was greatly interested in trying to think of a story that would explain the bike in the background, but seeing the title and seeing that the sadness is supposedly for the bike, "cheesifies" it (yes, I did just make that word up). I would have preferred a more vague title that allows the viewer to use some imagination. Still a great photo 7

Stare Down

I think the focus really needs to be on the eye, especially with a title like "stare down". I do like the composition and the "in your face" feel of this. 5
