A fascinating subject - another of the leaves you've been contemplating of late? Beautiful rich tones and sweeping lines.

Remembrance Day

This was really underrated from my perspective. You've created an effective overall composition that brings the eye right to where it should be. And the processing is well matched to the subject - channels the itchy wool they must be wearing... Nice work!

Lots of good stuff going on here. Eyes, smile, toning... really effective take on low contrast.

Birch bark and groundcherries

Comment:
An engaging still life subject, Susan. I like the hints of red/pink in the birch against the subtle yellows of the groundcherries. It would be interesting to see a version with the bottom of the frame extended enough to avoid cutting off the tip of the groundcherry - and with enough room to create a square crop. Lovely work!

Very nice, Mark. Captures the essence of fall without the color - and the narrow tonal range works well.

Congrats on the TT, Paul. Really interesting light and atmosphere.

Solitude

Nice work, Eugene. I like the way you've combined harsh geometric angles with the bird and the narrow tonal range.

Yep. Definitely expected to see this on the front page. Proof again that flowers and B&W processing can work really well. Congrats on the ribbon.
