Roethke:

All finite things reveal infinitude:
The mountain with its singular bright shade
Like the blue shine on freshly frozen snow,
The after-light upon ice-burdened pines;
Odor of basswood on a mountain-slope,
A scent beloved of bees;
Silence of water above a sunken tree :
The pure serene of memory in one man, --
A ripple widening from a single stone
Winding around the waters of the world.

Lovely image, 8 from me.

Beautifully rendered. One might wish the island were less centered...

Warm Afternoon

This is terrific. There's something about it that really sings to me, though I can't put my finger on the song offhand :-) Warm greens, even a warm blue, don't let anyone argue otherwise.

10 from me. Wouldn't be surprised if this were Richard Hahn's... The animal is separating wonderfully from the background here, not always an easy task. The low POV adds tremendously to the visual impact. Well done.

Beautiful picture, but you're gonna get hammered for the desaturated, almost-sepia look of it. Gotta oversaturate to win this one. I'm in a similar position with mine, so let's stick together :-) 9 from me, I like it a lot.

Really, really bad HDR artifacting here: bad noise, bad color fringing, bad haloing around the trees. It's just out of control...

I'll grant you it's "warm", but this is about the ugliest orange I've ever seen a human face :-(

Very cool color-toning effect.

La lumière du matin

This is weird, I just noticed the title. My current entry in the "Warm" challenge originally included "Lumiere de Matin" as part of its title, though I changed it out for something else in the end. I'm sorry this one didn't work out better for you; it's a lovely shot, but it's just not hitting the popular concept of what "fine art" would be.
