Impressive stuff! It is no mean feat to have captured the Milky Way galaxy and an engaging, thought-provoking portrait in one image. Clever stuff! The image title "Cosmic Thoughts' adds layers of meaning in an intriguing way, too., especially as the subject appears to be engrossed in a device with their back to the galaxy..

This is a wonderful silhouette photo! The composition is sublime, with the central position of the two figures flanked by the boulders. The sun streaming into the scene adds depth and casts some lovely long shadows. The exposure has been skillfully controlled.

I love the exotic vibe that this image evokes. The sense of adventurous travel, the romace of the pyrrimid, and the strong, bright light all speak to sprit and excitement of travel. The black and white conversion has been skillfully handled too. Good work.

The graphic quality of this image is excellent. It is literally black and white with absolutely no mid-tones, and I think it works a treat in this instance. I love the shapes the figures on the rocks make; it could be a stylish album or book cover.

The intriguing story unfolding in this image seems to raise many questions—especially after noting the title, "Unhomely." I like images with layers of depth and possible meanings. There is a mysterious sense of narrative that invites the viewer to speculate.

I love how the figure has been incorporated and integrated into the landscape in this image. The human form provides a sculptural human presence that implies a deeper meaning that perhaps speaks to our connection to the natural environment. Good work, keep it up.

Photographs of people at work are a great way to make engaging pictures. This is a perfect example. Seeking out an unusual angle of view and looking down creates a lovely perspective and composition. The blue hat contrasts well with the light hues of the salt mine. Good work.

In the first instance, I love the composition and the way the viewer's eye is drawn into the frame through the use of leading lines. The loan figure walking away from the camera and into the scene creates a wonderful focal point and sense of human presence.

This is a wonderfully engaging and interesting portrait. The penetrating gaze of the subject's eye seen through the hand is well considered and artfully realised. The contrasty lighting and mono treatment highlight the shapes and textures in a sculptural way. Good work.

This is a clever and imaginative take on the theme. The image has a poetic vibe, which is partly evoked by the cunning use of dark tonality and a reddish, warm, and sombre colour palette. Good work keep it up!

I love the dream-like vision of this intriguing and thought-provoking image. The use of motion to create an ethereal vibe is excellent. The black-and-white conversion suits the subject and helps reinforce the haunting ambience. This is good work; keep it up.

The clever use of moody lighting and a colour palette evokes a melancholy and thought-provoking ambience. The cunning use of back/side light and throwing the subject's head into shadow adds to this narrative and speaks to the vibe. Good work!

The lighting is simply superb in this excellent capture. All the better after reading, that it is simply natural light that has been keenly observed and sensitively captured. The large amount of dark, negative space in the frame adds to the contemplative mood that the image title, "Thinker", implies.

Wow, what a great use of the multiple exposure technique. Amazingly, it was created 'in the field' on a smartphone. Sometimes, techniques like this can be gimmicky, but in this instance, the effect suits the subject perfectly and helps reveal the narrative of a busy, bustling station.
