Whatta joke this score is! I had this terrifically emotive, mysterious image as one of my 5 top picks. You done real well :-)

Leap

Criminally underrated; one of my two 10's in the challenge. This is so matter-of-fact, so casual and yet so precise. It comes across as a perfectly-frozen moment in time, and the murky quality of the PP, the squareness of the framing, the hovering and brooding sky, all lend an almost aching sense of immediate reality, a glimpse into something we were not meant to see.

Another of my top picks ribbons! Very nicely done, moody and brooding and luminous all at the same time.

Mother's Curves

Wow, I'm glad this did so well. Outstanding work both technically and "metaphorically". The arrangement, altogether, is sublime, the lighting is spot-on, the B/W conversion is flawless, what more can you ask? I particularly appreciate the expanse of black above the figures, which I believe is proportioned just right. The way the upper arc of the woman's body precisely is tangent to the equator of the image, gently thrusting the newborn into subtle but distinct prominence/ascendancy, is a grace note.

This is a truly fine image, a masterful one even.

Imagination Begins as a Daydream

This is just exceptionally good. The various textures of the whites are stunning, and that's SO hard to do. Also, kudos for HIDING THE EYES! That was so brave, and it absolutely takes the image to the next level. Congrats!

The Long and Winding road.....

With better (i.e. lower, more dramatic) light, this would have ribboned for sure. Hell of a view, perfect for the challenge.

Easily the best "road lights" shot I have seen on DPC, vibrant and dynamic, pulsing with life.

River Road Farm

This is absolutely beautiful. The framing of the s-curve in close proximity to the right edge is especially skillful. My only nit is the branch "touching" the roof peak. Depending on zoom, moving forward a few feet and widening the zoom, or lowering the camera a foot maybe, would fix it. But as a retired architectural photographer, I notice things like that :-)

This is gorgeous. You might want to correct spelling to "A Woman's Touch". Beautiful shot!
