| I gave this a 7 and I underrated it. I have a bias against HDR-like processing, but this works. |

| Usually not a huge fan of HDR, but I love the processing choices here and emotive despite the closed eyes. I do think a little tighter crop at the top would add to this. 9 |

| Quiet an eastern European ambiance - could easily illustrate a fairy tale. The pale squashes add a melancholy accent to the mood. |

She started her day like any other. Waking up, making and pouring her morning tea. Glancing quickly through the paper that that sweet young boy had been dropping on her doorstep for a couple of years now. She always greeted him with a smile and a sweet. A chat over the balcony with her neighbor, Greta, about this and that and days gone by.
Then she would begin the chores of the day. Whatever needed doing. This morning it was the leaves on the side of the house. They'd fallen quickly this year, and she'd been put a little behind. She grabbed her broom from the corner where it had rested for so many years. A creature of habit, was she. Then began her task.
It wasn't long, however, before she began to feel a little more tired than usual. Perhaps it was the work. Perhaps it was due to the lack of sleep she'd been having lately. Perhaps it was just one of those days. She took one final sweep, and then sat down on her usual stool. Other than being tired, she felt good. Nothing to be alarmed about. Just needed to close her eyes for a moment. Yes, close her eyes and rest. Recharge.
It was Greta that found her a few hours later, sitting there still, broom in hand, eyes closed as if in a deep and gentle sleep. Yet at some point, that morning, her sleep had deepened to that sleep from which we do not waken. At some point, she had passed to a land beyond this one, to rest forever more. |

| Great capture of everyday. I like the higher dynamic range that gives it texture and more feeling. The earth tones are simply amazing! |

I like the composition and colors (the blank pumpkins, the brown leaves with the dark green grass, and the dark brown shutter on the light green wall). The dappled light creates additional interest. Her posture and expression delivers an end-of-the-day kind of a mood. Sharpening is somewhat overdone to my taste, and I would also try to soften the highlight above her left knee. Overall, a great image.

| Nice contrast and I like how you can see a lot of texture in her face. I also like how the shadow is cased on the wall. |

| That shadow is terrific! I don't like the processing on the leaves (I'd have masked them off), but I REALLY like it on everything else. I hope this does well for you. (not voting yet) |
