Nicely seen and composed. I'm glad your notes explained the title. I got the "family" part, but the "haunted" was eluding me. :-P Congrats!

Thanks! If this were to be selected as a calendar image--and this applies to most of the images so far submitted--I do anticipate that some cropping choices would be necessary anyway to fit the 12x12 (square) format. I'd be inclined to agree that the negative space on the right could be trimmed down for sure in this one.

My favorite in the challenge. I find it suggestive of a young woman wearing fine jewelry. The square crop as a transformative abstraction. Marvelous.

A challenge favorite for me. The silhouette and bokeh convey the effervescence of the moment without needless additional detail.

Brilliant composition on this one. I see the darkroom flair here.

One of my top picks this challenge. The square crop is an inspired choice for balancing the circles of the architecture. The composition itself is also just attractively distributed, and I love that cinematic color grading.

Incredible macro. Yellow is one of my favorite colors, yet so hard to make look this attractive when it fills the frame.
