You had me at the thumbnail! Such an intriguing image.The total obfuscation of the second body here is quite astonishing.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being
by Waitingsilence

Comment:
This is a gorgeous photograph, but to me it sings almost the polar opposite of the title. I see the castle, the rocks, the man all rooted solidly to the earth, unable to shed the WEIGHT of being and rise into the ephemeral. And it sings THAT song superbly. Technically, the execution of the image is spectacular, the detailed tonality of the very dark areas allowing them to express both density and substance is to die for. But I don't know what score to give. 6 to hold.

This is a striking image. I'm missing the connection to "11" visually and I don't understand the title, which may be pointing me to it, but right now I am blaming myself, not you, and it's a 7. It would be higher in a FS.

And what a luverly reason-for-being she is, Jebby, but is she MINIMAL? In MY book she's flat out MAXIMAL!

Of course, Lobos isn't a National Park or Seashore, Paul, but who's checking? :-)

This is gorgeous. The tones, the palette, and the perfectly non-symmetrical tears of the flowers. Penny has a singing bowl too, it's wonderful.

More of "my kinda' country". Can I come live there? The mistiness and the subdued palette here are exquisite.
