This is a great image -- I gave it a 7. I like the textures and tones of the feathers. I might have gone gone a little more dramatic with the processing. Maybe convert it to black and white, darken it and given it a vignette would have given it a more ominous, crazy mood.

This is not just a beautiful tree, but a stunning image of it. I was intrigued by your photo and description of the tree, so I googled "Ponthus' beech" and looked at many other photographer's attempts to capture its beauty. There were many great shots of it, but I certainly found none better than yours. Congratulations on the blue ribbon.

I like the dark tones of the castle, but the sky above it is not as smooth and you might like.

I like the lines of the horses and terrain, but the sky looks a little funky to me.

You know how to pick an entertaining song title, but the picture is fabulous. 10.

This is great, although you have some haloing going on.

Nice ethereal feel to this one. Very dream like. Your processing is really getting good, Jenn. Creative use of the desk clock.

I liked your image during voting, but loved it that much more after reading your comments and learning what you were shooting for. I have the mind of an engineer. I am pretty good at things that are literal and spacial, and perhaps not so good at pulling out the subtle and symbolic. I wish this challenge had allowed you to provide the viewer with a bit more context during voting. For those like me that are more challenged at interpreting symbolism, it would have made each image more meaningful.

I am hoping the light on the back wall represents a glimmer of hope that we can pull things out before it is too late.

I loved this one, and I meant to come back and comment on it during voting. This was in my top three. The textures and color of the apple are gorgeous. Is there a handle on that blade? If so I might have liked to be able to make it out a bit more. Perhaps my monitor is out of adjustment.
