Snowed in
by MargaretNet

Comment:
quite (quiet) beautiful ..
both fit .. quite and quiet ..
i can almost feel that blanket of stillness you experience in the snow .. altho i havent been in the snow that much or for a very long time ..
but this image really conveys that feeling so well ..
i'm loving the hill in the background with those hardly seen trees .. and the pop of orange ..
beautiful image Margaret .. :)

A quiet place to sit
by markwiley

Comment:
my first reaction was WOW .. !!! ..
what a stunning scene ..
then i laughed ..
that seat there with the rope .. looks like unfinished business ..
i'm imagining a farmer type sitting in that seat having a coffee break ..
or maybe a photographer sitting in that seat .. chimping .. and what a beautiful scene to chimp in .. !! ..
congratulations on your red ribbon .. :)

The House on the Hill
by Brin

Comment:
how wonderful that they painted that old building red .. it really pops ..
i have seen this building before in at least one other of your challenge entries .. what a great find ..
you could have a series of very different images with that building in them .. and have an exhibition with the photos .. i feel it would be a great success .. as is your place in this challenge .
CONGRATULATIONS on the blue .. loving your composition .. and the mounds of hay? .. if you ever saw the adam's family on tv years ago there was a character in it who was just hair .. reminded me of that .. so much so that i can imagine those mounds wandering around .. lol .. :)

Dead of Winter
by mefnj

Comment:
this has SO much going for it ..
the winter scene .. the snow falling .. the building in the distance ..
and what really makes this for me is the broken fence ..
adds a sense of almost sadness .. loss .. when a photo brings out an emotion thats something very special .. :)
many congratulations on your fourth place .. this is outstanding .. :)

The Day's End

Comment:
this is glorious Sandy ..
many congratulations on your fourth place in the challenge .. xx

I'm sorry this got so little love during voting .. as in comments and high votes ..

it's a bit sad that things are quite different here in dpc than they were back in the day .. where I feel there was so much more of a community atmosphere with more comments and a less harsh approach to voting ..
they keep saying its a place to learn .. and it was for me for many years .. but when our photos go unappreciated with so little feedback as to why .. it's no wonder ppl are leaving ..

I love this photo .. its very beautiful .. and thankyou for the backstory .. that's just another way we can connect here in dpc .. xxxx

OMG .. what's going on here in dpc ..
this is STUNNING .. !!! ..
it appears i didnt get to vote but it would have got at least an 8 ..
lots of stuff going on for me .. had elbow surgery on friday .. they removed metal out of my arm .. and thats a long story ..
wish i had voted .. it deserved a heap more love than it got ..
the colours .. the whimsy .. the crazy details .. and of course the general feel ... all very attractive and wonderful ..
commiserations on this one .. luckily for you its not often you get so unappreciated .. xx
