Best architectural image in the Best of Challenge. I love the balance of this composition... could have done with a touch more contrast IMHO... so can't give it a 10... but definitely worth more than the 8 I originally gave. Less than 10, but more than 8... guess I have to give it a 9.

Oh Wow... truly amazing. Love the composition, and the colour. My one issue with it is the rock in the foreground... the only thing stopping me bumping my vote to a 10.. but I will bump it to a 9.

Great image. Colours and composition are wonderful, but it's the clouds that I love most in this image... they have a great depth... they give it a 3d feel.

This is my most favourite image in the challenge. Like a few other images, I initially gave it an 8 but am bumping it to 10... I'd give it 11 if I was allowed to. This is a brilliant work of art, and I'm not blowing smoke up your arse. I just can't put in words enough how much I love this.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... that's all that needs to be said. Great contrast, great crop/composition, great detail. I love the unorthodox angle... well done... love to see brave submissions. Originally gave this an 8 but think I was too harsh and bumping it to 9.

Another absolutely captivating that I cannot fault... everything is perfect... I must have gotten up on the the wrong side of bed when voting as I only gave this an 8 in my voting phase... Bumping this to 10 and faving it too.

Absolutely captivating! I love this image in so many ways... everything is perfect... and saying that, I can't understand why I only gave this an 8 in my voting phase... I can't fault it technically or artistically. Brilliant work. Bumping this to 10 and am going to have to fav it too. Sorry¡

Love your work Nuzzer. This is one of my favourite images of the challenge... one of many excellent images... I've already voted and now commenting... only realised this was a Nuzzer thanks to saphire faving my entry, and me having a look at her previous fav's and seeing your Mystic River entry amongst them. Anyway... what is it I like... love the composition and the use of duotone... subtle but effective... and love that there's more detail in the reflection than at the top.

Great animal portrait. Nice and sharp... colours are perfect. Great job.


Now... please bear with me... I'm revisiting a little comment experiment I conducted in the 2009-03 Free Study... something like K10DGuy's comments, but with a twist... the twist being, the story will move from one photo to another within the challenge... also, I don't select just a few photos I start at the first and end on the last as determined by DPC random order assigned to me, with a single sentence for each photo... should be interesting... and you're photo is 4th in the series
