And chicks make six

Absolutely fantastic moment with both parents there, the worm in the mouth, and four wide-open beaks! While I do a lot of painterly work myself and usually quite enjoy it, this is one time that I would have liked a more "photographic" look. Maybe you didn't have good focus on everyone, though - truly just getting the capture is fantastic. Voted earlier but I think I'll bump.

Hills and Valleys

I love the depth here and the undulating terrain with the hills laid in over one another like stairs that go out rather than up or down. I am not sure what that little thing in the sky just above the horizon in the center is, but I wish it was either not there or clearly recognizable as something of interest. Voted earlier.

London Bridge

Love the drama of blue, orange and black. I also like the contrast between the very smooth water and the crisp starbursts. And look at all those buses! Maybe you have to be on one in order to cross this bridge? Voted earlier.

Ropeway

Love this - very cool seeing the sun between the people - as if caught in their cage and riding down (or up?) with them. My tiny wish would be for a clean separation between the background islands and the tram. Voted earlier.

That lone tree

I do love slick and this particular palette and minimalism that doesn't feel contrived and lovely light . . . gotta give this a 10. Voted earlier.

I love this. So whimsical - Gorey-esque but maybe lighter than I would have expected. Would love to see the before pic(s) and have at least some hints in terms of processing. Congratulations on the ribbon.

Wonderfully done, Susan, and a perfect subject! 9 from me and I never got back to pick a 10 :) Congratulations on the Blue.

One of my top few - 9 from me and I gave no 10's. I thought this was really cool. Congrats on the ribbon, Mark.

I had this pegged for top three. I didn't give any 10's but this got a 9. Cool shot and terrific work.
