This is a great portrait and grossly misunderstood. I wish I was able to take such a picture...

Someday.....

Very expressive. You can see the little girl becoming one of the women in the background (and the pleasure she feels being with them).

Language is abstract

Comment:
Nice use of color and shapes but hardly relevant to the challenge itself. Yes, it is abstract but then any entry from the "Abstract Motion" challenge would qualify for this one. Not voting yet.

To brave the mightiest storm

I was browsing through the results for this challenge (starting from the top) and this one is the only one that forced me to stop and take a longer look. Way, way, (like 11 places) underrated.

Professional Romanian Beggars

Comment:
They're not Romanians, they are Gypsies or as they call themselves, Rroma. Originally they are from India and they can be from anywhere throughout Europe. Look it up on Wikipedia.

Roots

Comment:

Originally posted by dknourek: Originally posted by AGrigorof: I don't think the frame works too well; it detracts the attention from the tree line and the main subject. The roots themselves lack any details and they are too messy to be an elegant silhouette. I've tried some roots myself, a while ago, and people didn't like them :( - a 6 from me, just for that. So you are saying you would have given a higher score but someone else in some other challenge didn't like your entry so now anything with roots in it you will penalize because of this?

You got it wrong. I gave it a higher score just because of that. If you look at your scores, most of the people scored this 6 and 5. I didn't give it 5, but 6 just for the roots. I scored it higher than the average voter. Anyway, it is bizarre to consider MY comment unhelpful when I did provide you more feedback than a simple "nice colors". Yes, nice colors, but all too common and the border interferes with them. Another comment you found unhelpful is saying that the clouds would be better with more contrast. That's true, yet unhelpful for you.

I like the simplicity and the range of colors. 8... on second thought, let's make it 9!
