I really like this and feel it should be higher on the list.

No it's sepia for sure. I don't get their comments. At first I thought moose looked soft, but I can't even see how I thought that. I think the whole thing is nice and focused and clear. Thanks for the explanation of the shot!

I wish more people had commented. I thought this would do so much better. It's a beautiful sepia image.

This is well done. The angle and vignette add a lot.

This is a classic shot. Nicely framed and everything. and I love chess so that is a bonus for me.

Slicing Through

Ha, saw your other image in the free study. That is, assuming someone didn't have an extremely similar idea! This is a great execution of this idea. The texture of the paper is visible where it needs to be, the blade is a nice cool grey (definitely couldn't have done the shark fin here), and the shadows and lighting are soft, almost subtle. Nicely done. (and in case I don't comment and the image in the FS is yours, that one is cool too!)

The Flower of Gabriel

Definitely a beautiful image with marvelous focus and lighting. I like how you can't see the borders of the flower so it just feels like the middle is just floating there.

As a trumpet player myself, I love this image. The silvery/white tones work great with the shadows and blacks. It seems like mostly a white image so you've got the high key down too. I hope this image does well.

The angle is kinda creepy but the effect is awesome. If this were a straight on shot, or possibly shot from above looking down, I think this would be the perfect high key portrait.

Skeleton Key

I clicked the underline button so you probably saw a blank comment for a while. I like the high-key-ness of this image, but I'm missing the meaning of the key?
