Wonderful expression of light. I just love #10. It's clean lines and sculptural forms somehow remind me of all the Namibia bare tree photographs, but made under very different conditions.

I would have scored this higher than your entry - I prefer the uncluttered look.

Watching your essay makes me feel uneasy... it's a mixture between a nightmare and a real threat.
The shadows you captured are extremly powerful, the picture with the eyes gives me shivers down the spine... could very well be a scene from a horror movie. Or - less scaring off - a scene from "Night at the Museum" or "Angels and Demons"
If your pictures evoke such strong emotions then you made everything right about creating that essay!

In fact I'm wondering how you could take this pictures at night.. are you living in an exhibition hall???

Eclectic set that you’ve organized into a cohesive idea. The mind races while we wait to crossover to sleep. For me, these images represent memories from an interrupted dream. They spin in my head while I feverishly chase prelude and post. Your images have a strangeness that’s attractive. Questioning what is real, hidden metaphors, and symbols. We really have no idea what we’re capable of conceiving. An essay!

I was fascinated by this image. Intriguing mix of patterns and lines, distortion and grid. Nicely done.

I can certainly see why you included the right portion of the image in the whole, but I might have experimented in processing to bring up the vibrancy and warmth of that side to balance things with the left. But, who knows?
