Cherry picking some thumbnails to comment on. Love the natural letterbox frame. Pleasant noise. Digging the yawn (straight face would have been much less). The hanging bags are a nice addition as well. Interesting image overall. Glad I came back to it to hang out on it a bit longer.

Back to do some commenting. This one fits the challenge description for me as I am not sure what I think about it. First vote around I thought enough of it to give it a 7 and have it in my top selection of images, but as I come back to it I can't say that it is the most visually pleasing to my eye. It is an oddity of an image which makes it intriguing. Intriguing indeed.

I voted earlier this morning and came back to do some thumb nail cherry picking for comments. This one stood out. Very pleasing image to my eye. Love the overall texture and the smile of Molly brings an added emotional aspect to what was already a visually satisfying image. Bumping up 1.

In another challenge I may have just breezed by this one with not much thought to it, but with the type of challenge this is I took it a bit slower. Intriguing image. Surely not one I would have taken and if I had I am not sure if I would have given it a second glance after pulling it off my card (wouldn't have deleted it though as I dont delete anything). But I gave this an 8 on my first round and now I am sitting on it to comment. As I do I continue to find it intriguing and I am enjoying the various aspects of the image. The blur, the washouts, the flag, the lady, the combination of them all just work for me. Hopefully it works for others as well, but even more so I hope it works for you beyond the challenge itself. Gonna go find my too-too awards and gie this the yellow along with one other image.

So I am looking at this image and thinking to myself that this surely isn't a jmritz original. Of my top images voted this one is actually the one that I wrestle with a little bit of indecision on (which is one of the things we are going for right?) But it's not an extreme indecision and as I sit and ponder the image more the indecision progressively fades away. I am finding myself just enjoying it more and more and would be glad if this were an image that I had of one of my kiddos. This is my choice for yellow. Gonna go find my too-too awards and bust them out for this challenge.

Fascinating image. Hah - and I just got the title, well after I gave your vote. My guess is that this isnt jmritz but that isnt a bad thing. I find this image entirely pleasing with its variety of textures and elements. Would be pleased as punch if this were my image. This is my pick for red in the challenge. Bumping up to 9 and if I get off my lazy butt I may even find my too-too awards to add.

I wouldn't guess this as being a jmritz image. But if it were my personal image then I would be feeling very confident in reaching the first aspect of the challenge - create an image that speaks to you first. Now you may have failed completely in the second aspect because for me, as the viewer, you have not caused uncertainty or indecision in me at all. Nope - not one bit. There wasn't even the slightest of moments that I did not enjoy this image. I find this completely lovely as it dances around. The standout image in this challenge, IMHO. Thank you.
