17 tens! Been a long time since I’ve seen that happen. Incredible to think 50% of your votes were 10’s, well done!

And congratulations on a new personal best, by quite a bit. Excellent photography.

A chilling vision of a possible future. I guess it'll be ok as long as they keep taxes down.
The dark and gray color scheme and the overwhelming sense of vulnerability are tone perfect. The photography and the fully fleshed out imagination are superb. The shadowy details in the background might easily be given short shrift, but not so here. Actually, we've come to expect no less. Who are the figures overhead, all headed in the same direction? Souls, untethered dreams?
Personal favorite of the challenge.

Dystopian, as it should be. Those masks are fantastical.

I dig the masks, I’m guessing this is Christophe.

Good golly, Christophe!!

This is superb!! Wow!


My only "complaint" is the stamping of the flying people... I wish they were manipulated a bit to not look the same.

I think I'd prefer for them to be not there.

But... golly!!! That foreground and mid-ground!! Perfection.

Absolute perfection.
