This is the first image in the challenge that actually seemed original to me. I can't figure out what the meaning is, but it's interesting anyway.

So cute!
His raised eyebrow is what really makes the shot. One-of-a-kind.

Swan Lake

Really pretty. The simplicity of composition, the reflections, the silhouettes, really great. I predict top 10. But it's hard to say how others will vote on this one, because I almost voted low, but after studying it, I'm voting much higher.

The thing I'd change is I wish the mountains in the distance were in sharper focus. My first impulse was that the image was out of focus. The mountains looked out of focus and they caught my eye first and held it. Only once I intentionally focused on the swans and the close part of the lake did it become really beautiful.

Actually, I might prefer a much closer composition, including only the swans, their wake, and the bottom half of the image or so, excluding the distant parts.

Beautiful! The tack-sharp silhouette and the rays from the sun are the best parts.
