Chicken

Re-observed, re-evaluated and really appreciated. Sweet in many ways -- composition, tonality, textures and subject. That's a good-looking chicken. I did the math and had I given this image a rating more suited to its merit (subjective, as always) it would have advanced one place in the ranking. Sorry about that.

I like this image very much but could not decide if it is strictly black and white. Signed, Confused and Anal Retentive

Blinded

As an incredible photograph this is one of my three favorites, but gave it a lower rating due to the fact that I feel the sepia treatment edges it out of the spirit of the challenge -- black and white. I think it would have been just as delicately beautiful and powerful in black and white.

Pole and patterns

Wonderfully rhythmic. I like the light pole as counterpoint. Your comment adds to the mood.

I gave this a high rating but somehow missed commenting on it. It's really engaging and also a fine photograph. The warmth and softness of the goats are palpable. The centered composition is well chosen for the solidity it conveys. The surrounding textures of wood and straw create a comforting rhythm. It's wonderfully peaceful and innocent.

I couldn't make up my mind if this is miraculous or humdrum. Boink! The commentators have way convinced me of the former.

Didn't comment on this image, but I like it very much. Composition, delicacy, attitude, simplicity and that bokeh -- stellar.
