Great expression and nicely composed. Maybe just a little bit soft around the eyes - or maybe it's just my eyes :)

-- I was just looking through my comments made and noticed this one. I apologize, I think I accidently hit my keyboard as I was going through the images. I certainly would not have made such a comment. Given that, I'll leave you a real comment:

I really like the deep purples. It gives this a really pensive mood. The alignment of the posts is a little distracting, though. I more symmetrical approach might have been stronger.

I like the processing here. It seems like the subject is the bent branch in the center foreground, so maybe if you could brighten that area just a little more, or perhaps darken the green leaves to it's left as they distract a little. Note that I'm not on a calibrated monitor, though. All in all, I like it.

This is stunning, and way underrated. You've achieved a lovely watercolor effect that fits the challenge perfectly.

Beautiful, Neil. You should have saved this for a Free Study, though. It would have been far more appreciated by the voters there.

Neil, this is absolutely stunning. I'm jealous that you were in the neighborhood and got such a wonderful shot! This truly is inspirational.
