Comment by Melethia:
This time you really were robbed. This is a very nice interpretation of the challenge and, in my humble and ignorant opinion, very well done. I like the softness of it which is very much in keeping with the end of summer/approach of autumn, which this picture conveys. In other words, this does NOT suck.

Comment by dahkota:
the man is lost. his eyes squint but it doesn't seem to be against the smoke - its more of a tightening - his lips are the same way. But the upturn of his eyebrows show his confusion. He is lost. At the same time, he doesn't seem to want contact. He's not reaching for it - he's trying to hide. Is that what you wanted to show? Someone who wants to disappear into the background? Into the bushes - he's already melding with them now.

Comment by fracman:
This image is fun for me, but almost entirely for personal reasons. The smoke lends an effect that reminds me of my early darkroom days, when I'd forget to poke the paper all the way into the developer, or when I hadn't fixed all the light leak problems in the room. The smoke also helps to blur the details enough that the hair merges into the trees, and those branches in the lower right look like they're pouring out of your ear.

Can one ever choose where the heart leads us?

you know I have to tell you something about when I saw this in the challenge..I looked at it, and thought now here is one hell of a shot, by someone who is more interested in capturing a beautiful moment than in the score..you could just whip right by it..but if you stop and look, then it starts on you...and you realize that you are seeing real Zen..this shot has breath...
figures it was you...work on your scores...:)(do I have to put these smiley faces? I just don't want to offend..well in print anyway...:))
