Terrific capture! Perfect crop and wise choice of border - any heavy border on the sides would have interrupted the left to right eye sweep that the composition (and top & bottom borders) so pleasingly demands. Very well done. Back to bump you to 8.

Lovely image - I really love the drama and interest the veil creates here. Back to bump you to 8.

Wistful

This is lovely. Beautiful facial expression - emotive. It looks like you possibly added a grain (??) - whatever it is, the texture works well. Love the crop and the B&W. The spot on the nose is a bit hot & distracting but the shot strong enough to compensate IMO...8.

A thing of beauty. Gorgeous color and of course the campfire circle (as well as the wonderful colors) really sets this apart from other landscape shots so far. I might have cloned out the headlights (or maybe it's another fire) on the beach to the left of the rocks. A wee bit distracting (but only the teensiest wee! :) 8.

Back to bump to 9 - one of my top two picks. Good luck (as if you'll need it! :)

Wonderful!!! There is an odd sort of maturity about this little guy...like he's weathered hard times already. Great shot and the B&W was definetly the way to go. 8

Cool - great lines and contrast between lights & darks. Cool color tones and a beautiful setting. Levitate often? :) Maybe this will help...8.

Oooo...this is very cool - looks like it's straight out of "Cold Mountain" (I think that was the name of the movie anyway!). I love how the snow looks against the fall colors. 8

Mirage

This is such a cool shot. I feel like I just caught a glimpse into the world of forever sweethearts. Maybe the island is a "mirage" of where they spent their young lives together. The island is great and the lamp post is very cool. I think this was a good use of selective desaturation too. Very nicely done. 8

An absolute thing of beauty and one of my top two picks. Clean and interesting with a great touch of humor. I like that you cropped to leave some negative space and the colors are lovely. Back to bump you up to 9. Good luck.
