Coming or Going?
by Pangurban

Comment:
Has a precise, mythic feel to it. Maybe it's the idea of travel, maybe it's the fine detail that can be found in a diorama. In any case, the moodiness of black and white conveys a timelessness that's quite enjoyable.

Stylish image rich in unexpected detail. Deceptively straightforward. Has a sci-fi feel to it. Pulses with latent energy and anticipation. Muy bien, excelente.

Blues Clues
by JulietNN

Comment:
What a breathtaking depth of field, turbulent clouds in the foreground and the line of a road far below, leading towards a distant panoply of mountains. Makes for a dynamic composition and sensibility; we're birds, sailing the updraft. As the road is a line, it barely converges, but rather vanishes under the weather. This seems entirely legit, unless you're a stickler for points. The tones of the land are delicately handled, difficult with such modest contrast. The clouds are well-sculpted and intense, of a sort with which Beethoven could contend. The overall blue cast brings all the elements into harmony. Powerful and richly satisfying.
Personal co-favorite of the challenge.

A Long Walk
by DistantColours

Comment:
This has the air of a fantasy film or book. The surroundings are perfectly manicured, the trees are leaning outward, the path is long, there's a golden city at the vanishing point. The biker is poised at the outset of adventure, or maybe another chapter. A single figure is not far in front. The sun is shining, though muted, and the clouds are perfect. The story is so captivating, please commence. It's a wonderful image that opens out, both visually and figuratively, into an entire new world.

Incredible spectral banding. Enchanting, mesmerizing, surprising. By technically inferior I suppose you mean the slightly out of focus head on the spider. That's all that I can discern. I gave your entry a 6, which is quite lower than I usually give your remarkable insect images. My feeling was that the positioning of the wasp is somewhat cumbersome, hard to get a solid feel for the insect as a whole. Just a personal impression. I would have given the spider image a 9.7, which rounds up nicely. And put it into my favorites, which I'm going to do anyway from here, a first for an outtake.
Your macro images continue to delight me. Your determined efforts and creativity are appreciated.

Well-composed. The horizontal and vertical planes are subtly utilized. Beautiful palette.

Striking image. Nicely executed and never more timely.

Under the candlelight
by LevT

Comment:
Handsome study of this scholarly, possibly medieval figure. Except for the bifocals. The candlelight knits it all together.

Fine study of concentration. Black and white works very well, capturing the late hour (guessing this isn't before dawn).
