Dear Bear Robert,
this is my 1000th comment and I'm so happy that you volunteered to get it!

I was browsing through your pictures quite a while now to find a picture that deserves more attention. And I found it - I love this one! The contrast between cool and warm colours, the reflection of clouds, the structure in the water surface, the idea of how medidation can be medication - all this is outstanding.
The only explanantion I have why this picture didn't score better is that voters actually expected some pills...

A German title? Wow, you're brave!
The motif is great, I like that you're leading the eyes to somebody who is struggling with not being a 100% member of the productive society. I don't like that you blurred his feet and left part of the lady in the background unblurred. That doesn't make much sense imo

Much better than your outtake - more tranquil and unexited. The light coming from the window is perfect.

“The Chimney Sweeper” — William Blake

I was looking at your outtakes: you made the right choice!
The lad is adorable, I like his look and how the suspenders came down - that's not visible in the other pictures.
Although a brick wall is most suitable for a chimney sweeper I agree that it might have been less dominant. Also I don't like that his half-cropped shadow .. either the whole shaodow or completely cropped where the body starts at the bottom of the wall (sorry don't know how to describe it better)
The smiling outtake has it's charm too, but I like this one best. Well done of you and your patient model!

This was the first picture that showed up when I started voting - and it blew me right away. Very nice composition with the bridge at the optimal position and I love the vivid colours. I guess most of the structure happened in pp - very cleverly done!

This is exactly how I imagined an impressionistic picture -- very well processed- love the vivid colours - 9

Is this a special filter from the Topaz Lab? It can be seen quite often and I'm no big fan of it, but in this case with this mysterious scene it works perfect! 9 from me

Thanks Anita for showing the originals - I'm interested! I love your composition, it really looks like a surreal dream. Was one of your 9s

It might be childish but it made me start the week with a broad smile. I like to be childish from time to time. Thank you (was one of you 9)
How did you do this btw?
