I like the frosted trees - the bison just adds to the overall enchantment. Nice capture.

Wedding Night

You're going to hate me for this comment, but there is one significant flaw and unfortunately it's right smack dab in the middle of the image - the dark eye. Sadly, when you see one flaw, you automatically look for others and there is one - top of the nose. I originally thought it might be a speck of dirt on my monitor, but it's not. Other than those two things, this is a spectacular image - just as you would expect for a wedding picture.

Too much light, not enough detail to really rate it higher. I do like the colored light effect on the water - the whites seem to be just over the edge of blown out - a little less heat on the white would have been better I think. Still, the overall effect is pleasing - a good entry into the challenge.

I'm not sure what I like more. A little more detail on the head of the Lady Bug would enhance the overall feel of the image. Still, a great deal of detail to be had. Good entry - I like it.

This is a great image if only for the mystery - above the cloud deck or is that surface fog? Really like the contrast between the blue and the earth tones. Very nice entry into the challenge - well done.

There is a huge WOW factor here - amazing image. The back light was a brilliant observation in particular considering the subject. The flat tones and intricate detail just add to the image's quality presentation. One of my favs in this challenge so far. Well done.

This is a WOW factor image. Wonderfully detailed, beautiful colors - a very exacting macro shot. Can't say much more than that about it. Terrific - well done.
