Dreamy. I like the concept in this shot, but a little less of the added blur would be better.

Interesting image, gigantic stuffed animal, looks like she's dreaming about something, looking at the picture I wonder what she's thinking.

Again with the feeling of life happening all around you - you almost feel that if you sit very still and concentrate you might pick up some of the sound and atmosphere.

I think you have some really impressive shots in this SC.

I love the (almost) impressionist effect going on here !

Wonderful rich colour palette and hint of movement - all so close - but just out of reach.

Comment by Jedusi:
Thistles (?) are a good choice for this as they are both soft and spiky which fits your 'Bittersweet theme' and I think also lend themselves to the light/dark of the layers.

A rich, fascinating shot.

I'm not quite sure about the face - on one level it is a cool extra level that takes a moment to notice, I guess the question for me is whether it adds a level of poignancy and adds to the bigger picture, or whether it is interesting but distracts slightly from the whole thistle thing.

To be honest I have no idea - and that is probably a good thing because it leaves me thinking and wondering which is after all what any good image should do.
