Beautiful composition! Very striking! Like a chinese painting with teh content reminiscent of both calligraphy and landscape at the same time.

Edit to correct typos!

Nice, simple and strong composition. Very peaceful.

I don't usually like "gimmicky" presentations like this but in this case it works really well with the image... seems like I'm making a journey and use my glove to clean the steam from my car window and see this. Lovely!

At first glance the darkness seems too much and then... it begins to draw you in and you lean forward to see the detail. A marvellously composed scene.

Came across your portfolio after noticing your recent comments on my hub's portfolio! I really like this. I like how the movement of the grass makes some of the blades translucent. Lovely texture and colour. I can imagine this framed as one of a series of similar abstract images of flora.

Cubism

Comment:
Well it's a shame most people didn't get the humour of entering an image of stock cubes into a stock photography challenge but I think it's very funny. And I also think it's a well-composed and balanced image with good use of slightly shallow DOF and of colour.

Clever! Would also work very well in the Stock Photography challenge. (Bet you're already sick of that comment!) Only quibble is the way the edge of the stand fits into the lower left corner of the frame - doesn't sit right for me.

Friendship

Comment:
I'm glad this won. I scanned through entries for this challenge and over all was very disappointed at how many were (to my mind) the kind of image that would have appeal to those featured (or those who knew them) but had little appeal to strangers.

This one stood out for me as being a universal representation of friendship.

Congratulations!

This is a very clever shot. Framing of an utterly relevant object. An unusual view of a well-known scene.

Beloved Friend II

Comment:
This one really evokes times gone by, not only because of the well-loved toy but by your use of a lot of natural wood in the background and the toned black and white. Nice one!
