Yet another image I was much too harsh on when doing my first pass voting. This is a wonderful image. Well composed... great detail... just wonderful all over. Reminds me of the Victorian high country after last summers fires... actually wouldn't be surprised if it actually is a photo from up there... anyway... initially gave it a 7, but now think it deserves a 9. Well done with a great image.

Abandoned Skiff, Morris Island

An excellent image for this challenge. Processed perfectly. Composition and detail are fantastic... this should get a ribbon. Originally gave it a 7 (think it was only of the early votes and I hadn't established the baseline for the challenge at the time), but clearly deserves a bump... to an 8.. perhaps for now... but I might be back after commenting on some more to bump it further.

One of my favourite images in the challenge. I'm a bit of a sucker for dead trees and strangely coloured skies... one first pass I gave this an 8, but upon reflection I feel it deserves a little more, so will nudge it to a 9. Good luck.

I quite like this... guess I'm a bit of a sucker for duotones and vignettes. Good detail. Well composed and interesting subject... all point to this doing fairly well with the wider DPC community. Good luck.

Blue Christmas

One of my favourite images in this challenge. I gave it an 8 during my voting pass, but now bumping it to a 9 during my comment pass. I love the minimalism and the Christmas connection you've captured. My only wish... that more DPCers took photos like this. Well done.

Tossing cards, killing time

This is an image that may not fair well with the 10 second voters... well, it'd probably do okay, as I gave it a 7 on my voting pass for the challenge and probably only gave it about that, but only know while commenting do I get a true appreciation of the subtleties of it. The translucent 3 of clubs, the long exposure giving us the tossing hand motion (noticed the blurred hands but didn't make the connection... my defence... I DID have a roasting temperature for the past few days, during which I voted... good thing I'm better now and I'm back)... and I love the read boxers. So, now that I've noticed that, I think even a 7 might have been a bit harsh (and I don't give out too many 7), so I think an 8 is more like what this image deserves.

The One Alone

This is a great image. Wonderful use of the thirds and leading lines. Processing is superb. The one issue I have is we can't see the kids face, so the boredom is assumed by the viewer, but not confirmed... I initially gave this a 7 when voting, but on closer inspection while commenting, I think it's worthy of more. Reckon I'd give this a 9 or 10 if I had that confirmation I spoke about... still think an 8 is a bit harsh... a 9 is fair I think. Well done. Hope to see this with a ribbon beside it.

Nice capture. Well composed too. Processing is excellent. Having done some stationary guard work myself, I feel for this poor guy.

This is an image deserving a ribbon. Not just for the guts you've got to break so many "rules" (i.e. cut off head and feet, centred composition, massive borders), but for doing it AND still producing a masterpiece such as this. This is wonderful. Originally gave it an 8 when I made my voting pass, but I'm bumping it to a 9. Well done.
