Fantastic work, I hope you get rewarded as due. I love the expression, and the vertical stretch is a touch of genius.

Thank you. As for the originals, sorry, I never share them (except with the SC when asked for it).

I love this one Robert, very creative. I don't know if I would have resisted to add some red ink at the bottom of the box for good measure ;-) Congratulations on the top 5!

Congratulations Mark, I am sure your son and you had some good fun shooting this. Oh and he'd better be paranoid, I'm right behind him! ;-)

Very creative, I love the concept. The processing is also quite clever, as it permits to focus on the shapes. Well done.

Shooting trees is very hard according to my own experience. I spent a full day shooting hundreds of photos before giving up, and going for an architecture shot instead. However, you did a great job and succeeded in this difficult task. I love the crazy shapes of the branches against the perfectly exposed sky, very pleasant to look at. Wonderfully done.

Perfect choice of lens, and great composition. Makes you feel there, I can hear the wooden floor creaking under my feet.

Waking at 5am to take a photo, that's dedication. Beautiful Margaret, it was definitely worth it.

Having fun with the tilt-shift lens I see :-) Congratulations Robert on the great finish. I love the muddish tones you gave to the scene, gives it a strong mood.
