An image of an isolated subject surrounded by the sheer beauty of narure. The composition sings very loudly because the white snowy roof help accent the trees that sweep in great detail across the view. The dark body of the structure apek of cold timber and we look to find a semblance of life. The neatness of the foreground answers this question. What a lovely find. Bumping up.

Mystical Creek

This is one of those images whose coloration is like color with very fine pigment. Wherein reds and oranges and greens have an almost transparant feel. It is almost like an understatement of color and herein lies its very unique beauty. It feels like silk on the skin and to the eyes like those images we see in dreams. Bumping up.

The Blue Lagoon..Mother Nature's healing gift.
by Xilebo

Comment:
Many people have such love for "blue" images. This one satisfies this urge with great visual rewards. The coble stones dominate the foreground and then the eye moves slowly up swallowing the delicate beauty of the cloud reflection and then that magical fog that rises upwards to show off a lazy and easy moving cloud formation with a delicate blue sky. Then we follow the billow of smpke as it sweeps to the left... An image to gey lost in with no need for improvement. Bumping up.

Breaking through the Clouds

Perhaps the simplest landscape but timing and the heavenly glow sweeping gently across the water give this image that quality attributed to a fine wine. The foreground gives the viewer enough coloration and suddenly we also get the treat of the silhoutted bush on the left that ties to the distant silhoutte of the land mass and then the eyes follow the horizon, almost like walking a tightrope to find along the way what appears to be a boat. the tranquility and fine detail is stunning. Bumping up.

Glowing like a hot smelting rod with the splendor of a ruby jewel with waters so still and the lovely migration of the birds...A sky that settles softly from blue to a hazy orange...Bumping up.

The lonely tree gives this image a sparse look but once the eye travels away across the ground and detects the hair like detail kissed by spotlights of sky glow give great weight to this composition. The rule of thirds plays perfect with the groun and then with the tree and all is adorned with the gentle support of the full bodied clouds. Bumping up.

Such an inviting image with a tempting low key coloration. The rising rocks and the quiet waters graced by the lovely distant water and sky gives this image that unique serene view. It is powerfull enough and shows no apparant flaws. Bumping up.

School's In Session

Quite a school with such swift and agile movement. The excitement pf the composition with sweeping across the frame is superb. I realize the challenge taken for this image and a sharper focus would have really helped this image realize its final potential. Yet, the overall movement dances well. Bumping up.

A lovely easy flow with jets that appear almost like claws coming out of paws. But, so many, that soon after the claw simili dies and we are left following and going with the silky flow. Bumping up.
