Deep Blue Ontario

Beautiful. The stained glass in the blue colors really accents the view nicely, and the light coming in on the open half of the window panes is very pretty, too. I'm not sure what to think of the actual view being out of focus, as opposed to the window itself, but since there's nothing specifically out there except water, I think it's enough of a view to give you the general impression of what you're looking at, and that's probably enough.

When the World is in Chaos, Turn to the Simple Things in Life

I don't personally care for the realistic flower against the background filter. It says "distracting" to me, but not "chaos".

Wow - really good shot. Looks like a fashion shoot from the 80's. Only thing I see wrong is that white thing on the back of his shirt.

Beautiful image, meets the challenge, but the border really disturbs me - I won't mark down for that, though.

Astonishingly similar to the Pete Turner photograph located at //www.peteturner.com/jazz1layout.html, though the eyeball is much less realistic. I have a feeling this will take home a ribbon. 9

A beautiful image, certainly deserving of a ribbon. My only "10" of the challenge. The voters may not give this the credit it deserves, due to it's subtle simplicity that may sneak past them in the 5 seconds they take to vote, but it's definitely a winner in my book.
