Although the subject IS soft I would prefer more focus in the image.
Nice composition, nice interpretation.

Letting Go of a Loved One

The composition is excellent - the sweep of her hair gives a beautiful curve as well as really cutting her off from the black space. And the rich black in her eyes really plays well against that background. Wonderfully evocative.

Totally conveys the sentiment! A powerful image which suits the black and white choice.

Nice composition, good close up. Feels a somewhat too literal interpretation for me - my favourite images this week are those that evoke the emotion itself.

Fantastic - this totally depicts freeing the mind to me! Composition is also superb!

Cicada Letting go of old shell/To new life

I like the shallow DOF and the detail in the wings, old "shell" and wood. I think the image feels a little tightly cropped at the top.

The Garage - Men's Last Dominium

I really like your lighting in this - it adds such a lot to the results. The deep shadows really emphasise that idea of a private domain, a deeply personal territory. The details, such as the cigarette, the neatly aligned beer bottles and the knick-knacks give me plenty to look at. This image really communicates...

Beautiful, another wonderful ribbon winner. The colours and textures in the droplet are really appealing and the "tick" shaped composition works so well.

I didn't look at the entries on this one so this is the first time I've seen any of them.
Beautiful motion capture and I love that "texture" where there is an overlap of blades... I also love the almost geometric pattern of blades and gaps.
Black and white works well, composition, with the hub forming a diagonal line across the lower part of the frame, is also strong.
Congrats on your ribbon!

Very vibrant colours. Simple but effective composition. Good choice of flower as the long stem-like thingies really work in a shallow DOF image.
