 my eye was caught by this bent branch neatly spotlighted under some snow covered stairs on sandia mountain, altitude 10,768 feet. i had initially shot a version of this the day before the challenge started, but when we went back to do some snow hiking on saturday, i was able to get it again

I see what you mean here with despair, it is kind of abstract but I like it. The photo itself is excellent, Very focused, great. The only thing that bothers me is the lens flare at the top otherwise a great image.

The light is very nice in this photo. I like the texture tha the ice crystals create.

Dosn't seem to be holding on so much as sticking out. Nice try at symbolism, though; most of the pictures are more literal in their interpretation.

I like the lower 1/2 of the photo, the upper portion is distracting especially the flare.

It's a very nice picture, but I get a sense of hope, rather than despair, from looking at it! Not to worry, I am not scoring you down because of that.
