Simple, emotive, nice use of lines - and (hooray) you didn't go overboard with color saturation. Good luck in the challenge.

Hi. Nothing personal, I really didn't recognize this location, still don't actually. Has this building been published internationally or something that I'm not aware of? From my perspective it looked like either something under construction, or a shell of a building left from a fire (guess I was fairly close on the second thought).

Thanks for sharing the story on this.

I really like the tone applied here in post-processing. Works very well for the subject matter and general feel of the photo. I'm a little torn on how to score this as I don't really consider this to be that centered. The girl and the woman are pulling alot of interest to the outside of the photo. Let's just say it fell into my top 20 picks. :D Well done overall. Good luck in the challenge.

I hope this doesn't fall into the "underrated" forum threads after all is said and done. You did a nice job of seeing this. Post-processing is good, although it's hard not to notice the vignette burning (it is snow after all). :D Good luck.

Are you taking my picture again?

What wonderful character you've captured here. The title works well, although I imagine there are multiple others you could plug in. :D Those EARS!? Is this cat part Lynx or something? He-he.

Anyway - job well done (technicals, blah-blah-blah). Good luck in the challenge.

I love this color combination (blue, black, grey). Good eye to see this and capture it for the challenge. This probably has some stock value as well. Didn't it drive you nuts to leave that extra space up top to center this? :D

Good luck in the challenge.

Nice catch here. Wouldn't be able to get this in the summer with all the leaves. Looks like you kept the lighting fairly natural in processing, which works well. Good luck in the challenge.

That's a BONFIRE!!! Yikes, it's HUGE! Well, I guess that's one way of keeping warm. :D
