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 :-)

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.

Tal, unfiltered

Utterly timeless. I keep returning to it. I am distracted by the little light spot upper left, and by a bit too much of nothing at the bottom, but these are quibbles. I want to know her. I want to hear her story. I gave this a 9.

Roots Embrace
by Donna-Dee

Comment:
This is one of my highest scores; I gave it a 9. The embrace of stone and root is tangible metaphor of the power of life. I find the image gripping, and no pun is intended. You could have processed it with a tad more density and enhanced the power even more, but it's a fine and well-seen image. I gave you a 9.

Technically, this ain't all that: The light zones are half a stop to a stop blown, and the effect is not what I'd want it to be. But the image is nevertheless arresting, and I keep coming back to it.I like that only one foot of the four is grounded. I worry about the boy leaping in his thongs, which aren't the most stable of footwear. I want to know the backstory here. And for that I gave it a 9.

The DOF and the B/W processing are both immaculate here. The character looks rather enigmatic. I see compassion, and I see aloofness. I admire the image, and gave it a 9.

Straight out of Walker Evans. Have you read "Let us Now Praise Famous Men"? If nor, please do :-) 9 from me.
