Perfect depth of field and tonal range for me and a landscape setting that is both unusual and starkly beautiful. Great pop of color in the red jackets. 10 (Voted earlier)

Alone in the Cold

Much drama here. For "people in landscape", one of the things I was looking for when I entered and voted was some kind of purpose or relationship - a reason for the person being there. This one fits the bill perfectly. He is one with the terrain and it with him; and he gives us a fine sense of scale. Well done. 10. (Voted earlier)

This kind of farming fascinates me. I've seen landscapes of greater expanse, but the closer look featuring the worker is highly effective. Love the glimpse we get of the far side of this terraced valley . . . and of the mountains beyond. Beautifully composed. Unusual. Artistic. Authentic. This is one of my few 10's. (Voted earlier)

I want to see more of the figure . . . and then I'm glad I can't. The lines of light and shadow are perfect . . . and enough. Lovely tones, too.

Windows: Oddly Placed

Yes, to your title. Muralists usually try to work with the . . . well, with the junk they find on a building. It's as if here the artist said, "No way around all this crap . . . I'll just overpower it". And succeeded. It really took me a bit to find all the "stuff".

Please tell me you found this queer little creature exactly here - perfectly placed in the composition as well as in the dappled lighting. It it was you who put it there . . . well conceived! Love this. It's already one of my top four. I'm thinking now I'll bump it a bit.

Puzzling windows but premium view

Overwhelming in a very good way. Windows and more windows and more windows.

Rainy Night Contemplations

Gorgeous. Truly a favorite - the lighting is wonderful. I would have placed the cat in the left pane or, since cats kind of have minds of their own . . . , cropped to move it further left. That said, the centered position is wonderful and I'd have been wrong.

A window on fertility

My top pick. For me this has the symmetry of a planned and set-up shot (which I can appreciate) combined with the intrigue and charm of "found", candid, street photography. The layers . . . I just love that you included everything from the table and chairs that invite us to sit right here to the fascinating window display to the reflection that carries us across the street and beyond. I also look forward to reading the comments on this one. Voted and bumped earlier.
