When I was younger, so much younger than today

My top pick - wonderful in every way. This has the appearance of a candid but I cannot imagine a better "set-up" - the physical and apparent relational closeness of the two girls, the physical distance and apparent disconnect between them and the old man, his downcast gaze and the pose that could be just relaxed but seems somehow sad - everything works to suggest a story that is perfectly titled. Lovely tones, too. Voted earlier.

Now What?

I smile each time I look at this - what a pose and expression. Biting his nails or so it seems. All that blue suggests he is very high and "out there" indeed and, though empty, definitely contributes to the story here. Voted earlier.

Just enough light to define this very quiet person. Stunning work. Voted earlier.

Beautiful jewel tones - the turquoise against the emerald with the punch of orange is very nice. Lovely detail, too. Voted earlier.

I love the way you have used the red to help define your "subject" and set it off from the beautiful flowing lines of the background. Terrific entry. Voted earlier.

Terrific use of the "negative" space to complete the story here. I really like the composition. Bet this looks good in black and white, too. Voted earlier.

I think it's so cool the way the nose of this boat fits into the shape of the land - it's all like pieces of a four piece puzzle. Enough going on in the background to hold my interest but not so much as to distract from the boat. Voted earlier.
