Folding Chair

This was my favourite, though I couldn't vote. Tried to leave message to the effect of great understatement - the lonely unpretentious little chair, maybe left there to shell peas, peel potatoes, clean boots - the wash tub, or maybe not, doesn't matter, the scenery, the setting is grand but not spectacular. I dunno, so many entries were trying to make a statement, and this one wasn't.

Dies irae, or some local conflagration? Clouds and rising vapors are stunning against water and plain of buildings, and as I look I realize the dull dun strip of grass is to show an area untouched by cloud/sun/smoke/fire.

Oh this tells me how you feel about your dog. Makes me afraid to even think about doing a dog portrayal (as opposed to dogshots). Non pareil.

The Power of Life

Fascinating deployment of tones and light to tell us about this moment. This kind of definition devoutly to be wished.

Comment:
Good colour in the reflections, but not enough definition or composition to do them justice.

Red Room

Comment:
A problem of what to focus on: the sewn on red heart or the subtle red toned light on the body. Cropping and white counter distracting, but the lighting on torso and arms is very pleasing, and the heavy black framing seems appropriate.

A Natural Redhead

Not sure what to focus on here, the head or that deliciously feathered tail.

Spool of Red

Comment:
Like title and texture. Colour could be more lively, composition less simple.

Hail to the King!

Comment:
Very imaginative set up, effective lighting, dof, and composition. If red were redder, horizontals strait, distracting shadow upper 2/3 left reduced (how?), this would be a 9 for me.
