Impressive piece of history. I think the votes would be much higher if the wood grain were less prominent.

Gorgeous, gorgeous! Bet this wins. The flying bird is so perfectly placed! I'm guessing this is Oregon - and really looking forward to seeing this after the challenge! Since Larus means both gull and our famous Icelandic member, I'm guessing this is a tribute to the gull, even though the quality matches that of Larus the member :-) Great job!

Pretty color of gold. The skyline is beautiful, but there's something missing for me - I'm sorry, but I don't know what it is. Maybe too much water, or the black line starting just below the skyline, or sharpness. I'm sorry I can't describe clearly what it is. But I do like the color of the sky and the buildings you chose for this very much.

Nice, David! Looks like you're on your way to being our team's most improved photographer, if not the whole WPL this season (haven't checked - just noticed that you're really putting in some nice entries lately). Way to go!

'Natures abstract designs'

Brad's right! Sue, this is just beautiful. I am crazy about the low contrast as a foil to the strong lines. I even like the border, and normally don't like 'em wide or white ... here, it is just right.

Great color abstract train ride, G. I can really feel the movement in that mustard color!

I'm surprised this didn't do better. The tones are beautiful, as is her mouth (and all those lines, of course). I wonder if the slight decrease in sharpness on her cheeks is what dragged the score down - that's the only thing I can think of, but I don't entirely understand. I would've given this a 7 or 8, but my votes never seem to match the middle of the curve. I love the title that is a perfect match to the catchlight in her eye.

I can see why these kids have turned your heart all mushy, Sandy. They're adorable! I like the placement of Temple's hands on the wall here. And I love the title!
