Buachaille Etive Mor

Best landscape in the challenge, no doubt. The beautiful toning and other processing have made the very best of what must have already been a very fine photograph. And the composition, with the range of alps "in miniature" in the foreground, is really outstanding. 9.

Sunday

Very nice composition and processing. I suppose the absence of the man's legs will confuse some (a sad few may even be "distracted"). But I'm guessing that you deliberately cropped 'em out. Either way, I like it like this; it makes the photograph harder to "understand" and thus harder to easily dismiss! The stately old window openings and the formal balcony supports and lamp are nicely upset by the informality of the strolling man, smoking and reading his Sunday paper. 8.

That's a wonderful composition, and a beautiful, lush toning job. I especially admire the economy of it; everything that's there is part of the story, and everything that isn't, isn't. 7.

Beautifully toned. Beautifully processed all round, in fact. Not my kind of photograph, but I can't help but admire the technical skill. And I'd better get used to admiring it, because it's surely going to ribbon. I'd guess blue ribbon, appropriately enough. 7.

Something very appealing about this. Its slightly whacky composition, and the juxtaposition of a "businessman" subject with an apparently out-of-context background, together produce an off-balance feel. The effect is to grab and hold the viewer's attention and interest. It has no obvious story to tell, yet the feeling is that there is something there after all. Unsettling. I like that. 7.

Moving Rock

Interesting whimsical zen touch in an otherwise conventional landscape. Odd that I prefer this one with the rock, whereas its sibling I'd prefer without the rock. 7.

Very clever composition as well as sympathetic toning and processing. The idea expressed by the soil and the title lifts this above the run-of-the mill bottle studies. 8.

Comment:
This is the most informal of the several "bottle studies", which gives it an added spark of life. The toning is superb. 7.

One of the best examples I've seen of taking a rare point-of-view of an everyday object. It is also a very fine tribute to the artistry of the chair's designer/builder. Great idea, well executed. 7.
