I have no idea what this has to do with the theme but it is a powerful image. I love the subtle images of the two young people. This may well be the best image in the challenge. I fear the voters won't recognize it, but I love it. Among my favorites this challenge.

Feels like something Salvadore Dali would have painted. Nicely meets the challenge theme, something only a few images did well this week. Hope it does well inthe voting.

Brilliantly sharp image. Colors are vivid and contribute to the fantasy. Strong composition. Very nicely done.

Great abstract image. It's interesting, the thumbnail gives an entirely different impression from the full sized image. Reflections are very good. I hope you'll tell us where theis was taken and how you did it.

Feels like something Lewis Carol or C.S.Lewis might have written about. Nice job. You did a nice job masking off the trees to colorize them. I like the subdued background but that will probably be a matter of personal taste for folks. It feels a little oversharpened but that actually contributes to the fantasy. Good luck in the voting.

This is a very nice photo. The colors and composition are terrific. The pods are a nice counterpoint to the full blooms. With all the smoke (?) I hope no flowers were injured or killed in the attempt (lol). I am struggling a bit to find the tie in to the theme but you're in good company since 80% of the photos struggled with this as well. So i don't think that will hurt your scores. Good luck inthe voting.

I like this a lot. You've done a nice job turning a plain ridgeline into an other worldly feeling landscape. There are a few artifacts along the ridgeline (far left and far right) that are indicative of selective levels work. I am really struggling to get rid of these in my photos which is probably why I noticed it. Not a major distraction.

Journey Through Middle-earth

Nice tie in to the fantasy theme, one of only a few that did a good job with that aspect. Composition is interesting. DOF must have been a bit of a challenge. My only nit pick (and it's small) is that the subject wizard (?) feels flat compared to the foreground. Not sure what could be done about it, but if it had greater depth, I could have given it a point or 2 more. Good luck in the voting.

I really like the idea of this shot. The foggy ridge with wind generators is other worldly. The trees in the middle ground against the fog are great. I gave it a good score but would have given it a couple of more points if you had straightened the horizon and eliminated most of the foreground hill. I doubt this would have been easy in post processing but if you had shot a few other angles and positions, it might have been possible. Great photo. I hope it does well in the voting.
