Sunset Light Above the Peaks

I really like this image. It is borderline cheesy with the pink and light blue, but definitely on the right side of the border. I wish I would take images this good :) I like the soft and calm feel of it. For me the tree line in the front is somewhat distracting, but not much you could do about it, so it is still a 9 from me. Great shot and best of luck in the challenge :)

This is a great portrait in my opinion! I get a feel of his character and the crop and background blur "forces" my eyes to concentrate on his face. I also like the b&w. If I was to comment negatively on one thing it would be the halo on his shoulders, but that is nitpicking. Awesome job and best of luck in the challenge :)

In my eyes the top is a tiny tiny bit too dark, but the rest is awesome. Great composition. The warm colour and golden light is perfect for this scenery.

Great capture and I love the processing. I particularly like that you have resisted cranking up the exposure and clarity in the foreground. The darkness feels very natural. Actually it almost feel like I'm sitting on one of the stones looking out on the water and mountains. It`s a 9 from me :) Good Luck

To me it is a bit too soft and you haven't quite nailed the edge of the fur against the black background. As it is now the mama cat looks a bit like she is floating. Good effort though! I know how hard it is to get hair and fur right and you have done a much better job than i could have.
