Fantastic capture! I love how they are flying away from the sun. Not only is the arc acting as a ring around the sun but it serves to encapsule/frame the flight of these two birds.

Nice light that lights the scene. Love the quiet understanding between the cowboy and his horse - they are indeed partners. Very nicely captured.

Love the light here that illuminates the two deer. B&W tones are fantastic and well done. I like the title for the two are are facing in the opposite direction - a yin and yang.

Love the soft light that streams through the window to illuminate the bowl of fruit sitting on the table. One also get snippets of what else lies inside the home.

Walking in the Sun

Great tones, warm colors, and action of the person walking the tree lined path. Love the silhouette of the tall trees - the tall thin upright shapes are akin and complements that of the man that walks amoung them. I like the feel of this as the warm tones give a feel of a warm summer day as we walk along with the person following the path home.

The human figure emerging from a plague of darkness is visibly marked by the virus even as he clings to the hope of survival by donning a gas mask. Yes, just the thought of something akin to the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic is both scary and terrifying. Well done presentation of this scary thought - will have to find something happy to do to push down the scary thought of this.

Arachnophobia

Not a fear I suffer from, but do understand that some find spiders very scary so I will look at it from that viewpoint. Judging on the merits of the photo - very nice details and great B&W tones that show off these two arachnids in chilling detail. Both spiders fill the frame so that one gets an up close and personal look at them - most especially the ones who would not want to be anywhere in the room with them. A great shot - 7.

I can see the fear in her face. Setting and lighting is good. I think the image would have been even stronger if it was a more close up view so that the shadow of the axe is more prominent - I.E. a shot from just the waist up of the scared and hunted woman and the open door showing the portion of the stalker and the shadow of the axe. Still a good fearful effort - 7.

Reality can sometimes be terrifying and scary. This image brings to mind those 3 woman who were held captive for so long in Ohio by a deranged individual. What they endured was horrifying. I'm glad they got out alive, but sad that they were not rescued sooner. This image of a woman held captive is very disturbing and I feel it is every woman's nightmare.

Dance like nobody is watching

Great vibrant and warm orange/ gold hues that play directly into the tone of happiness. Dance like nobody's watching - heh, I can hear Pharrell Williams tune Happy playing. Great capture of the model losing themselves in the enjoyment of the dance. Love how you (or perhaps just a happy coincidence) composed the shot so that the clouds dress the barren tree like foliage. Very well done will likely be in the top 5.
