Reach Out And Touch

Sometimes when I go back at the end of a challenge I keep rediscovering qualities to certain pictures that I did not comment during the voting (although I marked this one high). This photo is timeless. Could be considered a bit muddy, but such are the landscapes sometimes and such were the 19th century depictions of them. You are still in my top 10.

I looked at the sunsets option. You chose very well the flying, almost transparent girl with an entire life ahead waiting for her.
As magnificent as they are, the sunsets become personal bests most of the time. We cannot stop marveling at them but it's like playing Vivaldi on the radio too many times. Well done!

The first time I see this formation, and I do look at a lot of Machu Picchu photos. Very graphic and enormously interesting!

There is a lot to be said about the mysterious quality of a painting of caring sometimes more life that a real photo! I do both myself and love both mediums beyond words.
Congratulations for both!

The range of gray hues is enchanting. The fact that there is no snow white or ebony black gives a deep melancholy to the image. And not worked to death in photoshop or sharpened like a blade! Great!

Papa Bear and Mama Bear. So far, no incidents!
It's a beautiful photo and if I have to throw my 2 cents, I would be more definite between the preponderance of the sky vs. land.

I love them when they become anthropomorphic and get expressions!
It's a sort of modern Swan Lake.

Great gilded rocks. I would cut a little from the sky. About a third of it and it becomes like a Goya painting. Bravo!
