I thought this was a lovely and complete image with subtle colors and complex architecture, understated and elegant with a great use of a diagonal line to organize the elements. MUA.

Crashing Waves
by sfalice

Comment:
I think this one qualifies as a MUA. The tones and the power of the wave and the complimentary shapes of the hills behind ought to have had it placed much much higher.

I thought I recognized that hillside. Yours is much nicer than anything I got.

It is rare that a trope like breaking the box works so well; I never like them, but this one is in my top 3, well done.

Ambiance of the Incandescent Lights

This reminds me of Van Gough's Cafe Terrace at Night. Lovely warm and delicate.

I do not like that I like this one so much. Great textures and concept but in the end you went to a lot of work to make something symmetrical. The two halves you put together look so very much alike. Also I do not care for the trope of spraying water on an object to create texture instead of making the texture that is there work for you. Now that you know what I don't like, the thing that really pisses me off is that you did all those things I don't like and made a shot I think deserves the blue. And that I .....well I don't like it.

I do wish that poor cow to the right had not had her head cut in half, but this is a great find with nice textures and deftly handled colors. nice use of focus to isolate the subject.

Roma Tomato
by Bear_Music

Comment:
How do you make a tomato seem monumental. Topaz and Bear like confidence do help. It is a touch over dark on the upper left where I lose the edge of the tomato into the cutting board, but that is pretty minor in such a lovely image. top ten.

Round Like a Circle and a Spiral

Clear crisp and clever. I do find the reel's edge on the upper left fading into the background, but that is the only flaw.
