Oh the things I miss when I lack the time to vote on images.. Your capture of the last strands of sunset pouring over the horizon is amazing.

The second bird in the corner distracts from your subject. A tighter crop, with your subject in the lower left corner looking across the frame, might have scored better.

I think this is how my ex-girlfriends would describe me. Nice framing and bokeh.

Congrats on getting such a great score. I agree, this was ribbon-worthy.

Winter

I had to take a second, third, and even fourth long look at this. The initial centering of the subject made me balk at first, but the detail of the snow weighing down the branches, scrubs trying to poke through the blanket on the ground, and the fence in the background kept bringing me back. The detail of the branches isolates the tree nicely against the soft sky.

Faces and memories blurring as time uncompromisingly moves on.. The distance between the two exaggerated by the DOF; her own face is clear for now, though even her wedding ring is losing its history.

I love pictures that tell compelling stories. It'll be a crime if this doesn't land in the top 25%.
