Tender, appreciative embrace of this flower. Transporting, nature's offhand chandelier, though to impose a human template can be a disservice. Love this kind of study, askew, disarming, fresh, evocative, penetrating. Fine title. Thank you for this offering.

Incredible photo. Besides the stunning subject, the background and the framing give stellar support. Blue, ultramarine even.

The Herring Run

Foam and fish, golden water and dark, speckled rock, fulfill the challenge. That's just to begin. There's a primitive, mythical, biblical feel to this image. The various elements scatter about in an unusual composition, but enjoyable. It's an unrolled scroll affording a glimpse of the immensity of time. Beautiful.
Co-second favorite of the challenge.

on the edge of not dreaming

A wonderful title that nudges one in a surprising, rewarding direction. I'll buy it.
Light and dark intermingle here not only in a straightforward tonal way, but also in consideration of waking and dreaming, or not dreaming, dancing on the edge. Conscious and unconscious play tag. Is that frost or clouds, under or above? The face is noncommital, it's just there, and we can't, it seems, know more.
Co-second favorite of the challenge.

Here and there

Comment:
The seasons of the day, morning, afternoon and evening, are shuffled together, as betold by the mosaic of lights and darks. In this manner the entire day, maybe not the night here, is seen as an entirety, all at a glance. It's implied that time is not a procession but a total integration into which you can peer at everything at once. Or maybe not, just saying.
The mood is mystical, sci-fi-y. Beautiful tones and textures. A multi-dimensional road map might help.
Personal favorite of the challenge.
