Love the intensity!

WOW! The intense colors are gorgeous! Beautiful balance and detail!

What a beautiful shot! The deep colors and shadows!

Lovely. I like the strong colors and contrast between them. GL

Above remarks is for an other photo.

Any dead trees I allow will still have to look like a tree. I'm afraid this looks like a piece of driftwood, it has even got a nail in it.

Beautiful

A very lovely image, but...for me, I think it would been a little better if you stood higher up the beach so that the man's head didn't get lost in the treeline. Just a thought.

Very good photograph!

Very beautiful! Love the feathery texture.

Looks like the sky through a maple tree! Very pretty!

A very good photo! Congrats!

Congratulations on 1st place, great entry, Good to see you back.

Spooky. Nice textures.

Beautiful.

A little dark (in every sense of the word), but quite funny.

Nice work

You need to put both the originals in your SBS

Nice shot !

Great job, especially the profile.

i agree...nice shot with the profile view

funky good

That's wierd... what's the story behind that, wind pushing it, or something? Cool shot

i think the one in the hat is very pretty lol nice work author

Well done for having a go at a face in profile! It's amazing how the same face can give these four a seemingly different expression because of the hands.

Great shot

Very pretty... might've just cropped a little from the left to de-center it some, but I love the light

beautiful (2)... I love lighthouses...

beautiful

The new poster boy for gun control

One of my favorites here, really cool shot =)

I think this is a great pic. for this contest. Personally I don't like the theme, but you pulled it off well.

Unfortunately, in America at least, this seems far more conformist than rebellious

This one really makes me uncomfortable.

Nice composition, saturation, and contrast author. Also the focus is adorable. Well done, good luck

Sorry, but from the description it sounded like the dad was speaking and took the photo.
A misunderstanding from my side.

I wonder where he found a helmet with holes in it to fit his horns through.

Biker, freedom rider! Looks gooood!

Nice find

Is that rebelling or trying to fit in? Also who took the photo?

Is that rebelling or trying to fit in?

great

Yes .. I meant as a whole really, but meant that the gain would be in focus, especially towards the flowers ... But as I said this is a personal taste

Great colors, a little bit less of saturation would help the focus on the red flower, but is a personal thinking, even then good job...

When I first saw this I thought it was in the 'Blue collar' contest.

YES, much better, still a great chop all round

Your Stem is a bit wonky (if you have the puppet warp tool, you could really improve it's look) the flower is FANTASTIC!!!! but as always IMHO

Agree the BG is a little boring... other than that. GREAT job !

She is so adorable and it's a great shot. Nice work cleaning her up but it deserves a better background, maybe a little gradation, texture or a drop shadow for more interest, it seems a bit unfinished IMHO.

there is a thing called cuteness overload (giggle snort)

Dead space is fun.. and the peak at the tutu is a bit naughty LOLOLOLOL
