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 is a thoroughly charming image with story that benefits from your POV; although we see the girl, we also share what she sees. The slightly blurriness of her hair and some dynamism and we sense her excitement in what the shop has to offer.

Critical stuff: Nothing much

Overall: Very nicely told image.

Positives: What amazing lighting - of course you know that shadow on the water is spectacular, but I also really like the bright highlights on the parasol. The overall scene makes for a wonderful canvas but the details peppered throughout the frame enhance the scene enormously.

Critical stuff: Perhaps that box thing at the bottom could have been cloned away...?

Overall: I like this a lot. Much more than the sum of its parts.

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.
