Dunes at Night

Very creative idea and nicely executed. I am still wondering whether this is brown sugar or a very artfully placed blanket, but what ever it is it works well. I love the subtlty of the curves that you have greated and the 'by moonlight' adds another level. Beautiful textures. Bumped to 9

Brilliantly creative and wonderfully executed. Meets the challenge in every respect. 9 from me and I think you are going to be in ribbon territory with this one

Icebergs basking in the moon light.

Great shot. Terrific concept and delivery. I dont know whether there is perhaps just a little too much ice berg, but that is a very minor issue, love the blue hued moonlight. I think this will do very very for you

All Keyed Up and Ready to Grow

Probably my favourite idea of the whole challenge. It just made me gasp and smile when I saw this, very creative.

good colours. A couple of little points, it seems just a fraction off on the focus and I wonder whether turning the keyboard slight would have added an interesting angle rather than a straight on shot

Let me tell you though I would take a shot like this over yet another pixel perfect 'smooth water' 'northern lights' or 'crown of water' ever time

Great creativity 9 from me

Fruit Bearing Tree

I really like the concept behind this shot. Not quite sure whether it would have been better in colour (though I wonder if the colours did not go). Given that you went B&W I think it could have done with a little more contrast to give it some 'pop'

Oh man I had really liked this shot (I was one of your 27 7s)

I thought you had created a really cool shot (figuratively and literally) and I thought to dof was perfect, gave the image a real sense of coming out of the screen at you

DPC Voters, who understands them (although Id still swap your score for any of my current ones)

A glove with a ball in it? That's a catch right? I'm guessing the arm attached belongs to a Royal and not a White Sox

Not voting in this challengebut if I was this would score very highly. Great sharpness on the stitches and I can almost smell the leather of the glove

Top bokeh which provides a wonderful kalaeidoscope of colours as a background to the really sharp threads in the foreground.

Cool? Warm? pah who cares? I like it

Your photos make me smile

Your scores make me frown and realise why you only enter challenges rarely (although at the moment I would kill for a 5.82)

This is a beautiful composition I love the graduated colouring of the sky as it moves from top right to bottom left, ending with that lovely solar glare

Most of all I love the relationship between the man and the tree. Peaceful and mysterious with the lowest branch seeming tobe extending an arm out to him

Great silhouette and I can totally imagine this on an album cover (it would have to be a cool cd though)
