I am truly looking forward to seeing just how well this fares in the challenge.The most prominent items in this image are the rocks and the birds and the people play only a minor role in the image.

This is indeed a beautiful photo, but I fear that you will suffer the wrath of those that earnestly believe that this DNMC, and in this instance I would fall in that category.

A truly beautiful and grossly underated image. I for one really liked this image and gave it a 9, and still think you were robbed.

This is a beautiful image, but is lacking a silhouette.

This truly is a beautiful image, but I am having difficulties in associating it with the challenge description. It is not my intention to penalize you for failing to grasp the connection that is to be made, but fear that you might suffer the wrath of some voters.

I could be mistaken, but I suspect that you have a few dust spots at about mid page in the left side of the image.

Personally I find nothing wrong with a group of people saying "Grace". Our children could learn a valuable value from this. :O)

Femme nue après le bain by Dégas must have been your inspiration for this truly wonderful work of art. Very well done indeed. Kudos on doing a remarkable job on this.

Beautiful image which reminds me of a painting by Antoine Gaber, a Canadian artist. Very nice, and I do hope you do well.

I see you were inspired by Monet's "Water Lily Pond" and you truly have enriched this venue with a truly wonderful image that exemplifies the essence of impressionism. Very well done indeed.

This would remind one of the "Boat at GIverny" by Monet. It would seem that the photo was taken in the harsh afternoon light, which is a pity as I believe it detracts from an otherwise very pleasant image. Good luck to you in the challenge.
