The chair, interesting as it may be, is lost in the scene with the heavy processing.

Simplistic in it's content, artistic in it's processing, the combination of it all make it a masterpiece. 9

Keeping Watch

I've been criticizing textures on other entries, but I feel like you used it properly and usefully here - mostly on the white, not very noticeably on the darker areas. Just my taste, anyway. Regardless of the outcome, this is a fantastic dog portrait for it's owner.

This has the uniquely artistic feel of an authentic GeneralE. Take that as a compliment, regardless.

Spectacular scene, but a bit dark and flat for my taste. 6

I'm guessing this will end up at the top end of the challenge. It could easily win top honors in a number of other topics, but feels out of place to me in this challenge. a 7 is as much as I can offer.

Beautiful and stunning. Not a fan of the phone part, but I guess that's the story you're telling here, so won't knock you for it. 10

A bit heavy handed on an otherwise perfect scene for this challenge. 6

In the Troll Forest

I really want to like this more. Maybe I'm having a problem with the white at the bottom that may be snow, but appears to look more like foam which isn't pleasant to look at in a pond or lake. I think a crop off of ~10% of the top and bottom might have made this better. A solid 6 with a potential bump if it calls me back. :)

Yeah, I could see this hanging on the wall at my therapists office. ;-)
