Excellent, Judy! Pleased to see this scored well - and should have been higher in the standings, in my opinion. Lovely, emotive shot and exquisitely processed.

Nice showing. Looks like you got a bunch of 5's. It was definitely better than that. Your tones and capture of the shadows and highlights is stunning and haunting.

One of my 10s, I like the way it discovers itself as I look at it. Moody & interesting.

I loved the pose and it seems almost as if he is staring into some mist? I thought it was quite intriguing.

I'm glad to see this place so well for you. You do such beautiful work and it's great to see you get some good recognition here :)

Talk about doom and gloom! The body language says despair and everything else (color, tones, mist) reinforces it.

A very quiet and reserved photograph. Great light/shadow, very strong composition with the primate staring into the void.
