AMAZING! The life surrounding us with its dramas of power and supremacy! Just like in the human world. Goes to my favorites.

What a beauty this is! Hope that you participated in the symbolic still life.
I think that I would have liked this picture straighten also, but somehow it works slanted. I always ponder why we need slanted images - have to study it more.
Great shot!

Looks like you got the most photogenic bee and plopped it on a splendid painting!
Wendy you probably absorbed by now all the hard won praise, but I can't recover for seeing my two favorite pictures getting the first two prizes!

Fog Glowing at Sunrise

This is such a spectacularly subtle image (and I think we know whose it is) that I feel like crying seeing the ruthless black lines killing it! It frustrates me deeply. It would have been a 9+ but I lower it to 6 7 upon looking at it several more times. And as of the last look, I wish the mountain would be a touch paler to allow for the layers of air. Nice images get more and sometimes harsher comments!

The tall reflection of the trees is mighty interesting. In my opinion, a paler sky of an ever so slightly different hue, especially on the right corner would make the image more persuasive.

Only that here the mood seems to me revelatory gloomy and the persistent thoughts caged even more by the framing.

Lovely for sure but a touch too lovely, like a post card. Certainly not minimalistic, but that's of lesser importance.
