This one hits the mark in a thoroughly endearing, minimalist manner. I'd already voted you a 10, commenting now. My best in show pick.

In The Wood

Eerie as hell! I'm quite captivated by it, and the washed-out dark tones. The centered position of the child enhances the sense of oppressiveness. I only wish the green lichens on the right-most trees weren't drawing my eye away.

High Plains

Whoa, beautifully rendered! And it feels like a landscape I know well :-)

Afterglow
by Neil

Comment:
The title recalls to me this Frost poem:

In winter in the woods alone
Against the trees I go.
I mark a maple for my own
And lay the maple low.

At four o̢۪clock I shoulder axe
And in the afterglow
I link a line of shadowy tracks
Across the tinted snow.

I see for Nature no defeat
In one tree̢۪s overthrow
Or for myself in my retreat
For yet another blow.

I hate that I can see the jesses on his ankle :-( Still, a striking shot.

Whoa! This is simply stupendous. I'd love to have a 30x40 print of it :-) What the HECK is that platform halfway down the image and not far from the left edge? Feel free to PM me with info, you already have your 10 from me :-)

Can you tell us how this was done? It's an extraordinary result and I can't figure it out :-)

Just Another Paddle

Congrats on your new Personal Best! We just did an Alaska trip that included kayaks, so I can relate to this one. Antarctica's on my bucket list...

There's a primitive sort of power here; the image reeks of it. The arc of grey is most felicitous. The composition is a bit too static and working against the power of the image, I think.
