(Haven't rated entries in this challenge because I'm unsure what I should be looking for. However, I'd like to express appreciation for the images that, in and of themselves, I enjoy.)
Absolutely enchanting scene. The watercolor softness and subtlety impart a timelessness so sweet within which to linger. The hints of color in the mountains and skies scintillate. Exquisitely inky.

Prometheus and the Making of Man

It's a very fine image, though I now know from your commentary that I hadn't understood what your intention was. From your explanation I can appreciation your ideas and implementation. It's wonderful to see your empathy for, and intuition about, animals and their complex, rich lives. And about their subtle feelings and emotions. It's interesting that we can broaden our "humanity" by according all creatures what is all too often claimed for ourselves alone. Thank you.

Perhaps this lovely photograph speaks to me because I'm so familiar with this path alongside the reservoir in Central Park, NYC, and have many times visited it. Maybe not, as it's beautiful without any personal connection. My wife, Shelley, and I have so very much enjoyed our strolls here, in springtime and otherwise. I treasure these memories you have evoked for me, in these days without. The cherry tree blossoms fill the world.
Personal favorite of the challenge.

(this is a rewrite of the comment I stupidly blew up when I tried to change my 8 to a 10 in the last minute of the evening)

Wow, tenth! I was sure this would be blue. I guess people opted for realism over fun, happy artistry. You sure made me smile. Thanks.

Interesting take. The black and white introduces the viewer to a harmonious "palette" and a pleasing composition. Accomplished.

Quirky, full idea. Love that sock. It's composed and photographed very nicely. I do admit, though, that seeing a character in a hot frying pan is a bit jarring.

Charming. Beautifully imagined, arranged and photographed. Painted in less than ten minutes? That's wonderful. All the necessary pieces are purposeful, and blend effortlessly into the whole. A tour de force.

What an amazing transition from analog, the color version, into the digital black and white. A switcheroo from the usual expectation.
