One of the better rose and wood entries in the challenge.

Virgin River in Zion

This is a great shot, but the border spoils it in my opinion. It's still in my top 10 but I think it'll just miss out on a ribbon. I think a solid border would have worked better.

Ansel's Rose

A lovely picture of a rose, but I can't help think it would me more iconically Ansel if it had some driftwood too :-)

I still predict this will score well though.

Well.... its really quite simple!

Would be a slightly better pic if the ground was level.

Nice subject matter but overprocessed in my opinion.

Winter Rotting Log

A smaller border would be better for this size image... I feel it is large enough to be distracting from such a lovely shot.

Adams Goes On Vacation

Looks like the Na Pali coastline on on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i. Looks slightly off level to me though, and I'm a stickler for that :-)

Lovely image but would work so much better if it was level

Still life, San Fransico

I was almost thinking that this DNMC as I was baffled as to why this was in the style of Ansel Admas. Then I googled "Ansel Adams Still Life" and found what I initially thought was an identical image which would lead to a DQ for you. Then I finally twigged that this was very much a recreation of an Ansel Adams original, and to that end, I think you've done a great job. Completely different to every other submission in the challenge.

A bit more of a contrasty image would work better I think though...
