"Eternity compressed into a moment"

I gave this a 6 and remember studying it for a while - including 'because of' your title. An excellent capture, that I had as an '8' at first, then I started nit-picking it ...

Of course I didn't have the benefit of your notes then, which now reading gives another facet to this image. Good quote too.

I gave this a 6. Quite well composed and the b&w worked well, but otherwise didn't hold my interest very long.

That's a beautiful poem - thanks for placing it here to be read. As I said below, your image is very befitting. edit: oops, apparently I didn't say it below - but I have said it now.

7 - Nicely done, although it does look like it needs a slight perspective correction. Shame the clouds didn't oblige you with a more balanced backdrop - but having said that they do 'bleed' out into the taller area of the image... who knows. Which leads me to inspect the overall balance closer.. Like your title.

6 - This looks like it might be a natural capture - like the colors, including how the brown in the eyes is enhanced by the surrounds. Just the off-balance composition (which might be intentional) and, although minor, the rock behind detracts in my opinion.

6 - Even stronger with a little more off the top, in my opinion (but I like strong symmetry).

8 - Beautiful scene and I like your processing on this (although I imagine a variety of styles would still create a beautiful image) - biggest distraction for me in this image is that it looks (and could just be a visual thing) like it needs a nudge up on the left or perspective correction to 'straighten' those trees. A title case for 'rogue' too - if that matters ...

8 - Nice composition.

5 - Interesting image and my first thought is wondered if the detail lost at this size is there 'wall sized' - like your composition and the colors, but would like to see a little more detail and/or the high contrast reduced a little, or 'something'.. I like the artistic/painterly 'feel' to this.

5 - Good potential - wonder about various touch-ups in pp to enhance the image, including cloning out the parked car.
