The sky on this, and the angle to inclue the prerequisite window frame, is wonderful!

I like this shot, and voted it a 7 during voting. I think its strengths are that it is different, that she is out of focus, and the intense concentration she has on the candle. Its too bad it didnt receive any comments during voting... it certainly deserved it, and looking back, I should have left more comments myself. :D

(FWIW, I did not vote on any entries in this challenge)

Nice concept and composition. The in-focus candle and the OOF person adds interest and a certain tension -- I would be curious how this would look had the person also been in focus. When first looking at this I could not understand how the title and the image relate to each other. Even after reading your explanation I am still somewhat confused because I have not read the book.

Hope this helps.

I like the way the crane points at the hole in the sky....as well as the tilt....7

Simply beautiful. I can't decide if it's just noisy or if grain was added. Either way, it still works. 8

What a great capture!! Nice mix of lights/darks and excellent framing. It emits kind of a mystical feeling.

Comment by Melethia:
This is most excellent. Tones, textures, clarity, light, the layers of the sky, water, surf, bird, sand... but mostly that mid-air step and reflection. Most excellent.
