Tremendous work to make mushrooms look like flowers. great lighting and values. I love how your eye is forced right to where the brightest light is and darkest tree bark.

Absolutely terrific. Some of the best nude digital art on the site.

I love the point of impact, blended seemlessly with the soft cheek. So expertly done, seemless, perfect.

terrific shot; perhaps it could be a bit brighter. or maybe it is my screen; it is still super nice.

This is really terrific. IT makes you say "what the ?" and its composed well. I would take the green off the ticket booth, but otherwise super.

I love the tones in this one. This is a great example of the type of shots that should win- nicely composed but not overly orchestrated shots. It does not look contrived. I really can't say enough about this; except, I am glad you won. Nice job.

texture; contrast; this is one hell of a shot. so flowing and abstract; so detailed. I like how the light hits the ripples but still does not make you aware of the angles or pull you fron the abstract.

Perhaps seeing edges on a whit background with more light and contrast would be an option.

All in all a really interesting shot.

very very nice contrast here. the thing that is so hard about black and white photos is achieving details and contrast. I love the positioning of the people; and especially the lady in the neckbrace. Classic slice of life.

I disagree with some of teh others that call this a candid shot; there is nothing candid about it; you are wide open and exposed to all the subjects- They know you are there and are just going about their business; this is alot like a national geographic shot.
