Fantastic image that really hits ALL the ket elements of the challenge. I love the duetone and overall the composition feels like a pointilist work by Georges Seurat. Superb composition. Bump to 9

Works fantastically for the challenge. I know there are some that may think the lone tree concept is somehwat old hat but this has been executed wonderfully and made me gasp when it appeared on my screen

Great sharpness on the leafless branches. Bump to 9. Good luck

A lovely take on the challenge that hits every element perfectly. A haunting and ethereal shot. Love the centred composition with the reflected light spreading directly behind the child

Easily my favourite in the challenge. Wonderful B&W composition with outstanding sharpness and contrast.

Meets the challenge very well and I shot that I would give my eye teeth to have taken

Beautiful...I so hope this ribbons for you, bump to 10

Great image, which was set off perfectly by the wonderous blueness of the sky and the vapour trail leading across it

Super sharpness on the building itself. I love the fact that I can imagine myself looking up at this building and seeing what you have captured

Great for the challenge and underrated in my opinion

Your shots are just getting better and better. I love the centred composition and the sharpness of the individual panels. As for the sky well it is just supreme...great and stunning colours

Many congratulations on the new PB and on your second 6+ score

Superb shot

Well, you did not need to worry about the crookedness of the shot as one of the beautiful things about these old tressle bridges is the way they are not geometrically perfect.

Another beautiful image that met the challenge to a T. I love the fact that the mans long grey hair seems to compliment the age of the bridge and the darkness of what lies beyond the bridge gives a feeling of mstery (and a touch of foreboding) about where the path he is taking may lead him

Beautiful image and another great story that only enhances it

Jeez...where the heck was everyones Christmas spirit...I thought this was a wonderful shot for the challenge and hit the idea of perspective perfectly (it transported me back to a time when I was 5 years old and I was being told that I had to be good if I wanted presents)

As for the comments about overdoing the NN...Well I think this may be true for a 'normal' portrait but I thought given the subject it added to the slight magical other worldly feel about father christmas

Fantastic perspective on this image and a real gem for the challenge. Perhaps could have done with a little more contrast to give it a touch more pop, but still an excellent shot
