I Am My Work -- the Thorn that Weeps, & Holds the Sky Entire...

This is an excellent photo, Bear. I think it is a good example of the benefits of formula voting. For quite a while I voted by formula based on meets challenge, technical merit, composition and wow factor, and this would have probably gotten a 6 based on that. I eventually thought that was too scientific (objective) for an art (subjective) endeavor and have switched to more of an overall impression of the picture combined with meeting challenge and I would have probably given it a 4 (nice picture but DNMC) or if I thoughtfully considered the title maybe a 5 or even a 6 based on that.

I love the snow and the store and empathize with your feelings about someone always getting in the way of the perfect shot. I think this and many others would have done much better if there was actually someone window shopping.

Congratulations on the ribbon on your entry Deb, though this one would have definitely been a contender also and difficult to choose between. I love this one. You are living in an excellent place to find great windows like this.

Lots of this theme in this challenge, but I suppose it's a natural pick. You could have picked a more fitting book to put it in and it isn't as sharp as the others.

Inspired by the cat/lion picture I assume. Well done. I like the mirror image.

Common theme, but well executed with two rings and fitting Bible passage. I'd like to see a little sharper focus and clearer words on the page.

Nice shot, but I don't see any distinct shadows.

5 for creativity,but not a good shot. Too hazy and a poor background.
