As Night flees before the Dawn

We're gonna call you the Flim-Flam Man from now on :-) Heckuva serendipitous image. Of course, I knew during voting it couldn't be "dawn" anyway, since I know these rocks and that's looking westerly. It had crossed my mind someone'd actually sent a friend out with a Zodiac and a spotlight :-)

This is lovely. Very much the kind of thing I strive for repeatedly. Can you do another for the current member's challenge? :-)

How nice to see such a stark, minimalist composition do well in a Free Study. Congrats on your first ribbon!

One truly appreciates the absence of a veil :-) Especially since there are so many of those in India... The fly is the crowning touch here. Congrats on blue.

Alfresco (out in the open)

Conceptually this is very nice, if a bit off the beaten path for a "perspective" challenge. The cropping on the bottom and right is simply excellent. The processing, unfortunately, is a whole other story. It's got an overall muddy, green tint to it that is damaging you. I see you are using lightroom, which is an excellent color management tool, so it makes me wonder if the color is set right on your monitor. Aside from color and noise issues, this is a very nice image.

Hang On!

This one's outstanding. Love the "risking life and limb" component of it. Certainly nails the challenge theme in a fairly off the wall way. I'm surprised it didn't finish a bit higher. I really have no nits here. Good work.
