Way under-appreciated.

A Slice of Moonlight

Comment:
Somehow my comment didn't make it through. I like this image that appears to be a heavily watered watercolor of the essence of the moon. The opalescent sky is splendid. I love the mood of the moment.

Wind Power

Comment:
Moody panoramic that captures motion under the vastness of a beautiful and turbulent sky. The wind turbines seem to be dancing. Kind of awe inspiring.

Father and son

Comment:
Timeless silhouette of father and son captured with the elegance of a Steven Spielberg scene. Well done. And a beautiful sky.

This is the type of image I'd hoped to see in this challenge -- the artful truncation or eclipse that yields new insight into the subject and the novel distillation of form and rhythm. Here we are compelled to consider the elegant, creamy, complicated structure of the swan's upraised wing and the abstracted curve of its slender neck. They are lovingly set off by the pattern of the darker background water. Just wonderful.

Somewhat synchronized, somewhat haphazard, but charming and deeply engaging on an emotional level. This particular image, for men especially, I believe, summons one back to the earliest days of yearning and wonder. Thank you.

I'm not the biggest fan of flower pictures, but this is elegant and sleek, and tumbles across the 160 like a devil-may-care acrobat. Beautiful and impressive.

Busy, but busy with life and activity. Works for me, but pity some of the people are looking at the photographer.

Summer's Golden Bounty
by Jules1x

Comment:
Painterly (do I really know what this word means?) abstraction, apart from its distinct reality, of shapes, colors and textures. Could be Cezanne or van Gogh, but it stands quite wonderfully on its own considerable merits.

However delicately colored and dainty, perched in a lovely bit of vegetation, it's the gorgeous background that lifts this image from pretty to sublime.
