Blown Away

Okay, you are the last image. That was the most painful voting process I have went through in a long time. At least this image has some semblance of wind.

It's actually not a bad shot. I am glad I landed on it last (not necessarily the best, but convincing). Good expression, and that hair, it is really going places. I like the pink with the green tint. But not the fact of the cut off hand... oh well. It's a good shot. 7 (though normally a 6 I would say, but I am jaded now after voting).

Thank you so much for ending this voting nightmare on a semi high note.

Into the Wind

Is this into the wind or into the air? Or is it into the clouds?
I don't get it.
It's a good picture with a nice sense of scale. But where is the wind?

This is one great abstract, my favorite in the challenge in that field. Wonderful variation in textures and the two tone palette works will here. So many nice lines. I hope it does well for you as it is a very engaging piece.

The Happy Smile Hidden behind Her Hands

Okay--you know how to frame a shot, but this is more... it is a mastery of the moment. It's using the correct color palette; it is using a sense of depth; and mostly--it is a touch of humanity. Nicely done.

Hands

Comment:
The light on the subject (hands) does it for me. But I feel the compositional elements (cars) on the left just pull me away from the shot. Not enough to reduce you from a score of 9, but something that prevents perfection.

Hickory and Hornbeam

Good light, scary trees, it all adds up to a good score. I know hickory, but I'll take you word on the hornbeam. Cheers.

Such a good abstract. So good.
The descending black square/circle/head.
The play of light and dark
The bucket.
The hard cut of light.
It is really a piece which keeps you there.

But I'm torn with the grain...it's harder to justify these days; I would be curious to see what it would looked like with reduced sharpness/clarity so you get the same effect just without the noise.

I'm still giving you an 8.

Hydrangea in Winter, Hie Jinja Japan

Comment:
I like hydrangeas. I enjoy detail and the color blue is so soothing.
Blue hydrangeas are better than the pink ones anyways, but I like that you still have some color on this one in winter (must live southish). Good job. Gave you a 7, likely higher if the blob on the bottom left were removed.
