Okay, this is one of my top shots of this challenge. The story portrayed here is great and the technicality, superb. It is nearly pinsharp throughout the entire image and the composition is spot-on. There is great detail and interesting elements in both the foreground and the background, so this is a shot that someone could look at for a very long time. As far as any help I could offer, I would start by rotating this about 2 degrees to the left so that it is a little more straightened out. Although I personally like it how it is, some may prefer a horizontal flip as it is easier on most people's eyes to "read" an image from the left going to the right. Either way, we are all humbled in your brilliance, and keep up the good work --- keep inspiring!

I think I know who this is --- and great lighting! These shots always freak me out, but it is very photogenic. Graat job that deserves a high score.

Holy cow! This shot a beauty. A gerat angle with the perfect use of backlighting. The time theme is great too, I'm really digging it. To be really picky, I would either crop a little bit off the top, or clone out the little white specks in the shadows (one at the top of the image and one on the upper middle right) just for the fact that those areas do not necessarily add to the image, and anything taken away from this great shot would be a crime! This is beautiful work --- straight into favs.

How original! Great stuff and good lighting. I don't understand it quite yet, but it's beautiful! 10.

I think that cropping out that rock in the bottom right corner would help bring the viewer to the legs and subject a little bit better.

This should have places much higher... I thought that it should have gotten a ribbon. Be proud of this great shot!

This is what I believe is the epitome of a silhoutette. This is such a beautiful piece and I like it more and more every time that I see it. I think that this might make my favs once it starts to grow on me.

Beautiful piece here... looks surreal! The horizontals may have been aligned better, but this shot is definitely worthy of a high score.

Returning for comments...

The warm tones here are great and so is the candid feeling of the shot. Slightly overexposed, but a great shot nonetheless. 9.
