Absolutely in the spirit of this challenge. Sepia tone is nice but I wonder if highly saturated colors might have been more in the style of surrealism? Regardless, the coloring didn't stop me from awarding this a solid 10. It is the best in the competition, in my opinion. Well done.

I wanted to embrace this more favorably, but, frankly, the border was just too overpowering. 2

White Feather on Snow

The textures won this a very favorable rating from me. The slight stain on the the feather vanes in the lower right was a tad bothersome but not enough to hurt the overall technical and compositional image. An eight. Save this one for another competitive format where cloning is allowed so you cna clean up the vanes and the dark spots on the rachis. I am confident it would do well. Good luck.

The title captured me to open up the thumbnail; I'm glad I did. The satin glows a little hotly in the lower left and the unavoidable luster on the pearls is a tad too hot, too, but the composition, textures and sentiment won it a 9 from me. By the way, best wishes! ::smile::
