If I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing then this is far too deep for DPC! A very interesting and almost surreal image. Nicely captured smoke too. Very thought-provoking.

Bah, this should have scored much much higher!

Nice framing and I like the girl's silhouette, both the toning and the hat give it a nice aged feel. Not really a fan of the very bright almost washed out view out of the window, though. Very nice overall mood and presentation.

Spring Shower Through Old Glass

At first I thought it was snow, but after seeing the title I'm guessing it's actually rain. Well there goes 'wow snow and flower petals in the same shot' theory. The colors are vibrant, the rain/show makes it more different than the standard view of next door through a window look. The placement of the frame is good, but the lines are not very straight. Not a bad shot.

Also in White

The title reminds me of the song 'how much is that doggie in the window'. The natural framing of the pane is good, although not perfectly straight, but I dont think that really matters. White subjects can be tough, and the exposure is not bad except for the hot spot near his/her right/our left ear. You still managed to get a lot of the details on the fur elsewhere, though, and that gives it a nice fluffy look. I'm assuming you desat the background also, and I think it works well to isolate the subject. I also like the rain/dirt spots on the window, it gives it more realism and atmosphere.

Behind the Veil

Good use of black and white to emphasize the tonal range and play of light and shadow. I like the natural light illuminating his face, it gives it a somewhat 'wonder' feel to it. The only nitpick is what I think is his hand opening up the curtain. It's not clearly defined as a hand so I partly wonder if it is something else, and also it seems to be 'growing' out of the top of his head, which makes it somewhat of a distraction.

I really like this, I think it's my fav of the challenge. I like the framing of the window, the unusual panes adds interest too. The view is great, and compositionally with foreground/background elements it really connects. The toning is great too. Not a thing I would change!

Nice To Meet You

This certainly has an interesting perspective going for it. I do like the bigger horse's expression.

First Kiss Of Spring

The toning is great. Good composition with the texture of the bigger horse serving as a great background. You have both the element of humor and the connection between man and beast. I dont know if it's the softness of the jaw on the guy but it's almost like some motion blur with his head, or else it's my eyes!

Hrm, I'm guessing mouse ball/wheel. I like the high key look, seems very suggestive too. It's different for sure.
