There are a lot of October Free Study pictures I admired, but this more than any other I look at and think, "Damn, I wish I could take a picture like this." As far as I am concerned they can move all of those nice landscapes that finished above you aside and put this one one top. Thanks for this.

This is great. I also thought it would score and finish much higher. I like the hint of color -- I may have to experiment with that. Much for me to learn from this one. Thanks.

I love this scene. Perhaps not one to hang over a child's bed but still. I look forward to seeing what you entered in the Halloween challenge. Nice shot.

This is an interesting scene. There is a lot here to enjoy and savor. 4.9? Seriously?

Excellent capture, John. Fascinating dichotomy. I suspect the pro got no better shot.

Uh, oh. Looks like it landed in your top five. Congrats on the top ten finish. Hopefully, you will reconsider.

Where the wild things are

Great shot -- congrats on the top five and PH bling. Sorry to hear of the fall, but oh to be young and resilient. If it had been me they might have had to just bury me there. You've had 9 top ten finishes in your last 30 entries -- I would say you are doing quite well honing your style and garnering a following. This shot reminds me of a shadow shot of mine with a Where the Wild Things Are reference. Yours scored much better. ;)
