I wish you'd brought up the tonality on the dandelion fluffs a little bit. It's an evocative image, regardless.

Yosemite Valley

It's a lovely scene, an iconic bit of Yosemite, but it's not connecting with me :-( It's just not an evocative rendering. I have several ideas on how the image could be made more powerful, but I will not presume to present them unless you let me know you are interested; perhaps this is exactly what you wanted. Certainly, my own views on the processing of landscapes are much more aggressive :-)

Gorgeous. Love the slightly eccentric framing, just off-center, as I imagine she might be, a quirky great-grandma :-)

What an exquisite sense of time & place :-) I've lived there, so to speak, I can breathe and smell what I am seeing here. I used to live 2 blocks from the commercial fishing harbor in San Diego; this was my milieu, and I loved it.

My Lord, this is exquisitely crafted :-) I especially admire the perfect dripping and the inspired inclusion of a little extra space on the right. A bravura performance of lighting and composition.

The Visiting Nurse

Aging.

I have a lot of problems with how the Government and Big Pharma stroke each other's backs to the detriment of the rest of us, but this image has nothing to do with that.

That's my visiting nurse, and I need all those pills :-(

Of the top finishers, far and away the most interesting in my eyes. The others are nice shots but right down through the top 10 we've seen them all before in various iterations, a common enough situation at DPC where entries often seem to be prototyped against previously successful work. THIS image, however. is different, and more than that it's daringly different, because where the "subject" is specifically "blur" you gave us at least 75% blown-out sky and let the dancers do their minimalistic tree impersonations on the perimeters :-)

I was one of the 10s. Well done!
