"That's High Enough!"

Comment:
Fantastic concept and so brilliantly executed. I love the title and feel it fits in perfectly with the challenge theme. "That's high enough" saying as it were "I don't want to go higher, that's high enough, no more, the end of high for me, so far and no more"
I also love the feeling of motion that you have captured and the angle from which you took the photograph. The colors are nice and bold and vivid and the expression on the young girls face showing joy and exhilaration.

Powerful title that fits this equally powerful image. Exceptional composition bordering on the brilliant. The figure of the man on the ground in front of the church adds to the overall impact and combined with the title gives a strong message.

Perfect Ending!

Fantastic...what a lovely and perfect happy ending and a perfect match for the challenge theme. Sensual and erotic undertones are captured here in a beautiful harmonious composition displaying an intimate knowledge of the finer techniques and loves of what is obviously a very passionate photographer.
What I especially like and what to me gives the image an extra dimension is the "Do Not Disturb" card on the doorknob. Truly a memorable ending and one that I am sure will be remembered and cherished for a long time to come.

Fantastic depth of field and stunning detail combined with excellent composition have resulted in an image that combines the challenge theme with the current economic crisis in a superb and eloquent manner. Refreshing and creative concept.

The Last Generation

I see the meaning and symbolism behind this powerful image immediately. The last days of the Russian Empire are here. The end of the cold war and communism. Ingenious and creative way to illustrate the challenge theme and technically very competently executed. Lovely background against which the " Babuschka's" stand out very nicely. I especially like the symmetry because of the "Babuschka's" being arranged from large to small and from the left to the right.
The last little "Babuschka" that is exposed within the second smallest "Babuschka" adds a lovely and lighthearted touch. The colors and the detail too are exceptional.

End Of The Line

Fantastic contrast and detail combined with a keen eye for composition have made for an exceptionally creative and at the same time visually pleasing image representing a theme as old as time itself. Bold lines against a stark and weathered background with plenty of contrast. One can almost still hear the old railway wagons and locomotives thundering along the track bringing the first pioneers into the unknown wilderness not knowing what to expect. For many it was indeed the end of the line when personal hopes and dreams were not fulfilled and dreams of a promised land were shattered.

Picking up the pieces.

Another powerful image of the pitfalls and fruitlessness of war and how it means the end of so much for the innocent victims. I feel powerful emotions from the broken looking figure in the foreground. He looks dejected at having lost everything in the war and searches for his loved ones and possessions in the bombed out smoking ruins of what was once probably his home. Very dramatic photo and of high journalistic merit. Exceptionally well captured.

It's Over

Fantastic and superlatively creative. The title also is absolutely unambiguous.
I love the rich pinks and the incredible depth of field which gives this image an almost 3D kind of look. A winning shot in my book in every aspect.
