Very artsy and one of my top picks. There is a lot to see and interesting to study.

I love this one since you took care of the left corner :) Your point of view is fantastic. The lines lead you into the picture to the back. Love the deep textures in the root system. Almost looks like legs.

What a beautifully composed image. You captured the contrasting emotions of the people and drawings wonderfully. Quite a special image.

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!

(Voted earlier)

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. There are so many 'aha' moments in this image, exploring it with my eye is like going on an expedition!

2. The bright parts of the surface offer us a visual mimic of a breaking ice sheet - fragments moving distally from the larger masses.

3. The floorboards bright and textured, trying to lead us inward.

4. The subtle tree left, with its brick-edged bed.

5. The Mini parked over the way and the row buildings behind.

6. An then there's you, almost as an incidental self-portrait with an angle that seems to confound the expectations of a simple reflection.

Overall, a complex and rewarding image.

Gosh, I like this a lot, Mariuca. Its own rhapsody complete in one frame with the cool and soft but shimmery background cut sharply by the zing of the red-orange. Not a musician myself though I can hear this - maybe someone else can supply the instruments :)

Great job! Agree with Gaby. That one leaf is perhaps out of place.

You did a fabulous job on the cloning. Got to love "photoshop" :-).
Just one minor detail, if I may. The very white leaf is the only one that stands out quite so obvious. Hence it is fairly easy to pick up a "pattern" in the BG, even if you did not know that you have edited it. I would tone down that leaf considerably. You seem to have darkened the other leaves around it, but to my eye its the white one that gives you away.

He is intent on getting to the next piece of art! I also love that her coat matches the carpet on the seats! Great capture, I just wish the triangle in the bottom left wasn't there.
