Beautifully controlled tonalities and a sense of pure luminosity that feels very sweet to me. the grace note of the curved tailfeather brings a smile to my face. Good luck :-)

Loneliness
by Painiel

Comment:
Probably too abstract to score well, and you will get hammered by the no-noise Nazis, but very much to my taste artistically. There's a palpable sense of sorrow and mystery here. Good luck!

This is very beautifully controlled light & exposure. Technically one of the very fine images in the challenge. I hope it does well.

This is fabulous, ricj and silky and mysterious. Pefect tonalities. Probably too austere to do really well, but you have my help :-)

I see you've brought the sharpness under control. I still laugh when I think of how you were accused of creating this as a montage, LOL. Fine entry!

Has anyone seen the elevator?

Oh, I remember this one! One of the great spontaneous captures of all time. A little blah color-wise, but jaysus...

The elusive Snowy Owl 120 knots off shore
by lawless

Comment:
It's irrelevant to my scoring (nice shot) but "knots" is a unit of speed, not of distance. In the old days they threw a propeller-thingie (the "log"" off the side of the ship and played out line with knots on it between their fingers for a specified amount of time, hence "making 7 knots". Now a "knot" is one nautical mile per hour. You may return to your regular program now, sorry to be pedantic. As I said, NO effect on the score, and love your owl.
