-Sunset-

Didn't get to comment on this image earlier. I like how these simple elements work together. There are two hillsides. The smaller background hill, which is the more brightly lit of the pair, nicely balances the larger, darker foreground hill and its group of trees. The beautifully colored sky embraces them both. Very serene.

All that's left

Didn't get to comment on this image during the challenge. It's amazing how much life you've wrung out of this barren scene. The tree is stalwart, the bird is jauntily perched and there's more going on up above. I like the way the water merges foggily into the gray sky. Every bit of open space is worth its presence.

Didn't get to comment on this during the challenge. Wonderfully successful take on minimalism. Even with so much fine textural detail, this image easily can be seen as a fascinating abstract. Maybe this was too minimal for some.

How'd this beauty seem to escape notice?

Lake Superior

I didn't have time to comment on this during the challenge. I like this rugged image with the lake as chopped up and chaotic as the shore. I like the bluish cast to the lake ice and the perfectly placed figure (w/o any blue cast). No compromises here.

Congratulations on winning the yellow. I didn't have time to comment on this image earlier. The combination of colors here is beautiful and the red is pitch perfect. The horizontal striping effect, politely interrupted by the red structure, is quietly compelling. And so peaceful.

Congratulations on taking the red. An awesome sky, a sliver of land and a very important tree limb.

I hadn't time to comment earlier. Fine image that's more than just a tree. The pattern of stakes makes a very interesting transition between the foreground grass and the delicate horizon line of trees. Very nice.
