Luscious, seductive pink. A sultry boudoir, shimmering and iridescent. An open heart. Simply delightful.

Apple

Terrific revelatory image of the top of an apple. The steep plunge to the very center is dizzying. The stem is like an umbilicus, or a biblical snake. The detail is very satisfying. I like how the edges of the texture delicately catch the light. You have a promising future in fruit, or whatever you choose to reveal.

Love this beautifully captured candid portrait, ruffled feathers, food on his or her beak. Also neat how we can sense the energy going into the grooming. Balanced in the center so well.
Wouldn't want you around when I'm picking my nose.

The Motel Pool

Lovely colors and shapes underpin this fine composition. The sprawling people work well in their placement. If you realize that a picture of the earth floating in space can be cropped down to Asia, there shouldn't be any issue with this. Serenely harmonious.

It's All in the Wings - Substantial Dihedral

Comment:
Stunning immediacy. Wonderful focus that allows the latter parts of the wings to fade to smoky abstraction. Not just a butterfly but this butterfly.

Nice crop and focus on this sleek soul. An wearing a turtleneck to boot! Fascinating clarity of pattern on the head, fading on back and legs into a dreamy maze. Excellent.

Lovely, moody, intimate high key image. Wonderful composition. Cropped down emotionally as well to compelling, primal feelings. Moving. Hard to turn away from. Assuming the title is correctly spelled, it's marvelous.
Personal favorite of the challenge.

What a SWEET Day!

This is colorful and funny and joyous. And your background just added to the slapstick aura of the whole enterprise.

Every which way wonderful. Artists should be studying you.

Fairy Woods

Comment:
Enchanting scene, with birch trunks like rays of sunlight and a filigree of vegetation, green and gold. Beautifully balanced both in color and composition. The artistry seems generated in itself rather through purposeful filtration. Not to say it is unprocessed, but rather modestly so. The stream wending through the lower left is the distinction that endows the photograph with imaginative depth and beckons the viewer forward. Nice to breathe deeply in here a while.
Personal favorite of the challenge.
