Very nice shot zoom, serene and understated and effective. Probably would've ribboned if you'd stuck the rock in over there on the left, LOL.

The Grain Of Rice

Comment:
That's a very strange image. Beautifully cropped, luscious tonalities, social commentary up the wazoo in a minimalist setting. Strong entry.

Nice and clean. Doesn't excite me, but I like the "design" of it.

The mermaid's glove
by arngrimur

Comment:
I've had this parked in 6.0 while I try to make up my mind whether I love it or hate it. That's a very strange hand. For the longest time I was reading it as the reflection of a hand on the prow of the boat, a painted hand; now I think it's a latex glove floating by, which of course is TRULY odd. Regardless, the image keeps me coming back so I'm rewarding it with a 2 point bump.

St Louis Arch - Gateway to the West

Comment:
This could be improved dramatically by "raking light" on the building, which would model it better and provide also a blast of luminance on the arch itself. Conceptually it's a wonderful picture.
