Nice use of the branches for framing, and beautiful light. Very good processing too.

I wish we could see the face of the angel.... it would elevate this from ordinary to something much better. Texture and focus are good, the trees on the edge are a bit distracting too. a 5 from me.

A great variation on a theme. Really like the way the cloud seems to be rising from the angel's coronet. Well captured!

One of my higher scoring images in this challenge. I'm glad it did quite well. It did make me feel a little dizzy though.

Aha. I really like this - it's simple and yet.

Thank you all for the marvelous comments. Now I see clearly things that I did not before, when I just clicked the camera keeping an eye on the subject.

Have to add Don's comment made to my blog to have a complete DPC note book:

posthumous
"There is so much I could say about all the individual photos. Subtle, unpretentious, buy still saying so much. I think your compositional decisions, like the wood sculpture so close to the right edge of the frame, were perfect. Just great individual photos and a great essay together."

Now I'll let the MEN be for a while.

You get us.

We are comfortable nowadays, after years of ewomancipation, to let a glimmer of emotion shine through.

We'll still give you the manly frown, but use a pink camera while doing it.
We'll be listening to hard rock, but take an image of a soft haze at the same time.
We'll slouch hand-in-pockets, while scrutinizing an image for meaning.
And so on.

Nonchalantly letting our slip show, for only the most acute observer, who also had her camera ready, and on the exact correct settings. Easy peasy.

Wonderful heading, introduction and ending. If I may only take one, it will still be a toss-up between 6&7, with 1 as the fall-back.
