I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This should be HDR overkill but somehow you've pulled it off - the effect perfectly suits the image and cliche becomes surprisingly appropriate drama. The tones are wonderful and the pockets of sharpness towards the margins of the image work well to lead the eye.

Critical stuff: That dark streak of dark cloud on the left is a little distracting - it might have paid to clone some bright clouds in there to break it up a bit.

Overall: Very nicely made.

Positives: Wonderfully mystery with this portrait. Enough form for the brain to make sense of it without giving us a hint of distracting detail. I think the window for that feat is quite narrow and you have hit it perfectly. The simultaneous softness and starkness is quite magical.

Critical stuff: Perhaps, the top could be trimmed just a tad...?

Overall: Wonderful stuff.

Positives: What a wonderful 'ready-for-the-wall' (or indeed gallery) image. Wonderful colours and an amazing of light. This is just beautifully constructed.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: Probably the best abstract I've seen on DPC (or perhaps anywhere else for that matter).

The RamblinR image. Very nicely executed; I've only scored one image higher.

Just saw the B&W version on 1x in voting - I think I like this colour version better.

This is very good for Minimal. Top job.

Great to see you in the ribbons again Alan. Long overdue!

You've offered up a great sense of being there with this shot.

Excellent!
