Your free study entry was my top pick, Manny, but oh isn't this one magical!! Can't think of a thing to improve it - perfect just the way it is.

Bringing it Home

I think you've done very well with what you're trying to show. The picture is quite breathtaking. I'd imaging it's stunning in a larger view. Wyoming is indeed at it's best in the early winter.

Sage and Snow

Lovely!! Detail is excellent and great job with the light given the snow. Some will tell you "but it's blown out in places" to which I'd say when you look at it without a camera, it IS blown. Really nice shot - I suspect it would have done well in the Landscape in Portrait challenge. As it is, it's a great addition to your portfolio.

Very well seen, Jimmy. The long light is gorgeous here, with the lines it forms on the wall and the shadow of the person. Lovely processing as always.

I like the tone play - the imagery I get is that of Follow the Leader... albeit probably in VERY slow motion.

Monster House

Comment:
I love this! What fun! Not only because of the distortion, but the colors and noise. Seems more like a monster house with a comical, light-hearted bent.

The clarity and detail on the bird is simply amazing. Gorgeous bokeh to offset it as well. Very nice photograph!!

Light along the way

I do like the composition of this, with the pathway seeming to lead away, possibly into a meadow. I like the house in the background - adds to the "leading away" concept. But yes, it does seem too light on this monitor. I'd like to see it redone if you get a chance.

The Bridge

Let me guess - the tilted landscape police got you. Yep, seems to be a bit of that in the comment section. But you also did receive some good constructive comments, too, which is a rarity these days. You did have wonderful water for reflections and excellent color. But I will admit to being one of those who does prefer landscapes with water to be either straight or tilted for a fairly apparent reason.

The End of the Line

The light here is gorgeous - it seems to be that lovely soft light of either morning or evening. Great find with the tree growing there - makes you wonder if it was intentionally planted or just sprung up on its own.
