The expressions on their faces are priceless! They are in their own world. The blur also lends to that feeling. Good job.

Nice work with the LB. It's like they're slipping into a dream state! Ah to be retired... : )

I really like it. I am a little jaded by the strange way free studies are judged so much more brutally than other challenges. This photo and its score just further confirms my unhappy heart about the matter. It's like they are conditioned for those knock-your-socks-off Icelandic or Pacific Coast land/sea scapes, or a Middle Eastern portrait -- and anything else is darn sure going to pay. I'm sorry you "paid". It is an amazing technique pulled off to perfection!

Seven in a FS is very hard to get. Actually, seven in ANY challenge is quite a 'challenge' to get.

This is good. And interesting. I like the ears heart.

But, competing with FS entries will always be tougher than the usual competition. :)

It's good and sharp, amazingly so for 'two' shots. Congrats on a fine FS score!

I really like this photo. I like the branches and I agree with Zig, it is sinister. I like the dark atmosphere of this photo.

Sheesh, getting a 6+ is like pulling teeth round here. Except for Deb and Sarah, that is ;) So glad to see it kept afloat, congrats, wish it had scored better for you.

And ditto Enzo's comment - it's a work of art.
