To see the world differently

You do. I love the processing of this. Makes nature look entirely unnatural, which is what I think nature is all about. The world around us is full of fantastic imagery, much of which we won't see unless we go looking for it. Looks almost like it's painted with glow in the dark paint. :) Great work. I look forward to seeing how this type of art it taken at dpc.

I met my Fantasy on the street today...

Love the angle, lines, and processing. Hope this is not one of those photos that will be overlooked because it doesn't meet everyone's personal definition of fantasy.

Bend steel with my bare hands

Well done. I'm going to take a guess and say that this will ribbon. The colors have that wow impact that dpc loves, superman is something everyone will immediately know and relate to and there are other interesting aspects of this such as the anonymity and the inclusion of the weddingband with the bent steel leading to it as if to possibly suggest some connection, some meaning behing what truly makes a man of steel, to make this more than a pop off the screen image to be quickly passed by.

One Fleeting Moment...

Perhaps the best photograph in the challenge from a portrature, technical point of view but I feel it may be lacking in the fantasy realm in that it seems more like a dress-up, model shoot, than an actual recreation of a specific fantasy or fantasy world. However, it is still one of the best photos in the challenge and I expect it to score well. I would just have liked to see something more engaging done with such a beautiful model, costume, and obvious technical and processing skills.

Great! You have crafted a magnifent illusion with this. I look forward to seeing how it was done. I expect this to do very well in the challenge.

Love the photo, really love the title, but don't like the slight vignetting in the top corners. Hope this does well in the challenge.

Where the Sidewalk Ends

Wonderful. I love the effect that the snow has given here and the guts it takes to take your camera out in the snow and get a shot like this. The snow even makes the washed out sky work for me. The pinkness of the umbrella in this cold bleak world adds to the uplifting theme nicely. One of the top shots in the challenge.

Truly a magical shot. I predict a ribbon for this one.

Great idea and very well executed. I appreciate the positioning and tilt of the image and the title.
