Jeez... send this girl to the east coast will you!

She's gorgeous and so is this photo. Terrific lighting.

You should definately have entered this in the free study. I'm fairly sure it would have gone at close to 6.5....

Wow... Had been meaning to comment on this. Got a nine from me and was in my top three shots for the challenge. Vastly underrated.

Still My Favorite Mountains

Well I'm certainly not sick of these mountains. And this may well be your finest presentation of them yet.

Congrats.

Viewing Nature

This is a nice solid shot of a great land scape. I find the branches in the foreground to the right a little distracting, but otherwise this is a job really well done.

I think the commends have probably indicated this to you already - but this shot would be greatly improved if the point of view was raised slightly and the focus shifted to the batteries rather than the person.

Additionally, the lighting is a little flat and the background a little bit uninteresting. Good lighting needn't be expensive - you should think about taking a shot like this near an open window on a fairly sunny day.

All the best with your future challenges.

Leader of the Pack

A well composed shot of a good scene. However, you seem to have completely removed all the detail using neatimage or a similar technique. The result is otherworldly, but, unfortunately, not in a particularly good way. It has resulted in blotchy grass, and plasticky animals. A 4 from me.

Love it. A positively hypnotising abstract. Among my favourites so far. 10.

I'm assuming you mean 'beckoning skies' - but semantics aside this is a terrific landscape. 8.

Red River Inlet at Full Ebb

This is an immensely pretty scene. I'm assuming, on the basis of the location and title that this is Bear's work, but I wouldn't stake my life on that. I'm not sure whether the grassy stuff was positioned by the photog or just found that way - if the latter is true I must congratulate you on your great eye.

I torn as to whether the treatment of the shells is a little much - they border on neon, but ultimately I think it works. 8.

Sitting Pretty

A beautiful woman. This is an image of contrasts - with the dress, the headwear, and the decaying yet beautiful turquoise stairs. Great work.
