I just can't explain why I keep coming back to this image and saying, "Yeah. This one." I just do. Thanks for that.

Here's a bit of bling for you in return

If this is you and EVERYTHING... I'm not sure how to reconcile all the OTHER things surrounding me. Even in this very moment. And you came so close be being at the brown end of another set of everything. BTW... you look good in plaid.

Wow... not a single pre-reveal comment. This is a sad commentary. I found it to be among my favorites. Thanks for the energy.

Interesting that the apparent lack of connection to the challenge impacted this terrific image the way it appears to have. I stopped on this image for longer than most, pondering what was the opposite. I eventually figured that it might be the direction of the flowing arcs of fabric, body, hair, that might be the opposites. Then I thought that perhaps it was the hair and fabric colors, then... implied "opposition" of a DNMC entry. Eventually I stopped caring and scored it high as a lovely well executed image, which is the opposite of my normal practice... Kudos!

The Haunting

Definitely eerie, but I'm not sure that the wet plate texture works here. The heavy impact in the sky draws attention away from the boy.

Behold a Pale Horse

Comment:
The pale horse certainly becomes the predominant subject, but there's a lot of other distractions in the frame. I do like the composition's implied ascending line from lower left to upper right.

Effective processing. I would like to see the statue's he'd and right arm without the distraction of the background tree which otherwise provides a strong natural framing element.

St Olaves, City of London

Nice textures, although the weight of the horizontal mantle across the top (below the skulls) is a strong element that divides attention between top and bottom.
