I thought this would take the blue - very well done (as ever!)

The eyebrow raise is just great!

Certainly no need to apologise - I took it as a compliment.

No comments on this - I love it!

The coloration, the sweeping bands of luminance. Lovely.

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: A captivating scene, no doubt. For me the most interesting element is the bag, it communicates so much - she is here for the long haul, not just a fleeting 30 minutes. Her head hung low makes us wonder whether her generosity of spirit is matched by those shoppers she encounters. Salvation or bargains - you choose.

Critical stuff: Not much at all really.

Overall: A well seen image. Nicely done.

Positives: A simple shot, well made - an exercise in demonstrating that less can be more. The contrast between the graining sand and the smooth water layer on the saturated sand is lovely. I also like how the stick penetrates the sand, like a boat passing through a wave - how fitting given where its vector leads us.

Critical stuff: Nothing really.

Overall: A satisfying image that is just right in a number of ways.

Positives:This is amazing in so many ways. I like the way it plays with my brain - I think I have its measure and then I notice something else. The reflected clouds, the solarisation at the top of the frame, the highlight around the foreground windows, the second set of reflections running across the centre of the frame, the car seemingly stopped on railway tracks. All compelling and strange in equal measure.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: Outstanding work.

Positives: I really like the deliberate superimposition of the elements here - the window frame and the reflection overlying the subjects. I like your framing / crop too - unexpected but effective. It all makes me wonder about the real relationship between the structures you show.

Critical stuff: Not much really - I think you have certainly got the most out of this scene,

Overall: A really interesting shot.
