what's always prominent in most of your photos is a sense of imepermanence and the way you deal with it. I am so much in admiration since I struggle also for the fleeting moment ("No one knows about that day or hour ...") for the tiny fraction where understanding occurs

Although these kids are spectacular (how can one mark pictures with kids?!), I much prefer your older shot with the new born and only the hand holding him.
Perhaps I'm wrong attributing this to dirt_diver but I'm sure that he got a picture with a baby sitting just like this one

Applesauce — the Creation Myth

I was one of your 8s. I still like but, without the title I wouldn't know about apple sauce. Do we need to? It's a very lovely still life.

Now I know why! Reminded me of this awful movie (oh, people will skin me) Avatar.

Why are so many messages after the turnover? Do people wait for you to get anointed?
Imagine that this is not one of my favorites of yours (I gave you 8) - it seems a bit heavy handed, a touch too processed. But there is always this je ne sais quoi which is so very mesmerizing. Bravo!

you are the one

I was completely speechless and boy, this is quite rare for me. My mind wandered ... I was in the forest and back on one of Tarkowsky's set for his masterpiece "The Mirror" (if you did not see it it's a MUST along with pretty much all his movies), then in Chekhov's world to find myself thinking of Bill Viola.
Of course, when I stepped back, the spell got torn just so little ... what if you would have made the grey of the sky/ceiling and window at left more transparent ...less "applied". What if. Oh, just forget it. (On second thoughts, do make it more transparent).
Magnificent image.

Heck, you redeemed yourself so magnificently! Just joking, of course. I was one of your 10s.
You wove a world that is so harmonious that even the giants find their place and sing along the music of the spheres.

John this is superb! I was one of your 9s. Did not have time to leave any comments though. The more I look at it, the more I am drawn to that door that waits to be pushed just so slightly. On the other hand I do not want to open it since the light where we, viewers are, is so pleasant. You are in full swing of experimenting and opening new door, so to speak. I loved your String Theory also.

This is going to my favorite place. I appreciate every single detail of this wonderful shot. I call it a classic.
