Great contest!

Beautiful image, so much works in this image - the composition and cropping are perfect, the angle of the spider makes this stand out so much and the background tones, shade and lines are wonderfull. very clever thoughtout photo. The overall clarity and blur is genius. The spider is gorgeously clear and detailed. Cery well done....

So very close to being in the Top 10 but there were so many awesome images but this image certainly deserves comment, a lovely image with great content and pastel tones, wonderful composition and cropping, there is so much detail but also a softness to the whole, very well done and best of luck in the next contest..........

Outstanding image in my eyes, certainly the only one to take minimalism to such a huge scale. the blur is outstanding and the composition of the rock is 'in your face' but very well planned. The horizon adds a great touch giving us closeup and eternity in one image. The rock is so clear and detailed and yes the clouds are perfection. A genius image and very well achieved, well done, very jealous......

A personal favourite very abstract an very minimal, lovely inclusion to the contest and answering the brief. Lovely composition and use of negative space, lovely simple monochrome tones and the texture of the orb add so much......... Lots of effort and thoght well worth it, very jealous.....

I took to this one straight away, lovely image, simple but masterfully done. Great composition and cropping, lovely tones in the greens and browns, lovely clarity yet use of DoF. The rain drops are what makes it and without may not be such a class omage, lovely well done......

A superb minimal image that fits the brief and gives so much more. Wonderful clarity and grey tones. There is grain to the whole but that suits the concept, the stone has such detail and interest, very clever use of the shadow adding the 3D effect........ Well done.....

Nicely done, a melancholy image but done to perfection. The water is like ice and the tones are gorgeous as the water and distance are blended into one there is a sense of mystery to it. The trolley is full of detail and seems to be catching the sun on its sad self. Very well done......

Lovely image with lots to compliment - the clarity and details of the face nicely disappear into the background, the surface curve adds so much and the texture of the leaf is great, The angle of the whole is nice and an almost tilt-shift feel, well thought out composition and cropping, clever well done.............

Not bad indeed, I'm sure this was not easy and I'm not quite sure how but the colours and clarity are lovely. The lighting is super and the positioning within the crop is nice. Clever use of negative space and even the fishes movement is cleverly captured, sure there were many attempts and well worth it........

This is genius, very well done, superb composition and clarity. I'm a big lover of negative space especially when so effective, the drop off into black is very well thought out and the viewer is so drawn in its almost real. Very jealous superb image......
