There aren't many portraits in this challenge, and certainly not many "great ones". Yours however is one of the greats. I think it's the unusual setting and pose which speak to me. A great departure from the "norm" with regards to portraits. I look forward to finding out who posted this image so I can check out more of your portfolio :-)

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Of all the "studio" shots, this is the most fun. Such a creative imagination, it's the sort of idea that I can only dream of being insightful enough to come up with. Expertly lit and shot. An imaginative vision, wonderfully realised.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

In amongst a bunch of landscapes, portraits, sunsets, bug macros, this really is one of a kind. An incredible action shot, and one I'm sure was uncomfortable to capture - I know how far the heat from these inferno's can reach out. Fire is such a beatiful thing to look at but so destructive. I think you have perfectly captured both sides in this image.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Not many still life's in this challenge, and certainly not many excellent ones. Yours is the stand out still life in this challenge. Gorgeous textures and colour palatte. Almost looks like a painting and wouldn't look out of place on a kitchen wall in a frame.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Which city? Looks lovely at night. There are lots of nighttime cityscapes in the challenge but yours is on of the best. I love how the motion of the water has blurred the colour stripes, but yet left enough definition to be able to see the city inverted.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

One of the stand out "studio" shots in this challenge. The colour transitions in the streaks of light is clever and impactive. A simple idea but wonderfully executed.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

There are quite a few bug macros in this challenge but this is simply awesome, and a world apart from the others. The definition and clarity is superb, and the monochromatic treatment only serves to make the form and composition even more eye-grabbing. I don't like to guess at the photographer identity generally, but am I on safe ground thinking this is from our Robber Fly expert "GregoryB"?

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots of bridges at sunset images in this challenge but this is one of the best. The tilted composition drags it away from the norm, with beautiful hues, but not over done. I've only ever been to Prague once, and it was in winter, cold, overcast and then heavy rain. I wish I had got to see it like this.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

This looks like such a spectular view, even getting there must have been a great challenge, never mind photographing it - and in such a beautiful fashion. I love the transition of hue from warm in the foreground to cold in the distance. The pile of stones is intriguing, and makes me feel it is somewhere oriental - so I'm guessing the Himalaya's (bet I'm half a planet wide of the mark lol).

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Exquisite, picture postcard type of sunset - immediately made me think of cocktails, not sure what that says about me! Lots of sunsets in this challenge, but yours is so uncontrived, and with enough other objects to give the scene some context and life. Definitely a "wish you were here" location.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.
