Lonely Is An Eyesore

Beautiful image and deserving of the blue. By the way, I don't think I've ever seen an eyesore win a ribbon before. New heights of achievement with this one.

Everything about this image is excellent...color, tone, movement/blur, composition, and of course the story. Well done.

Superb image. Not just the apple and the colors, but also the "face" or "head" in the branches. Well done.

I love the dark background and surrounding landscape. The contrast with the canoe is really nice. Sweet canoe, too.

Death in the Winter II.

Nice subject matter with interesting details. The image is framed well, too. If I have one criticism I would say that the tone of the image is rather flat. I think it's a white balance issue, leaving the snow gray rather than white because your camera's sensor is trying to find middle gray. If that were corrected I think the snow would have been white and the orange part of the split pods would have popped (no pun intended) and given you a very high scoring image.
