    Mary's Tomb

    This one is a nod to Roel's "Worship" series, and was taken in Mary's Tomb in Jerusalem.

    Love the artwork, could study those details a long while. The colorful pair doing their selfie photo adds another oval shaped frame to the array of oval shapes throughout the display.

    Absolutely wonderful old tree with intriguing deformations that make it look like part of a Shakespearean play set or a Tolkien tale. (Crop was good and required to get the tip of that finger out of the way! )

    Art deco is a favorite style for me, and this lemon colored beauty is very pleasing to look at. Great balance, excellent use of complementary color scheme.

    Beautiful color combination, nicely blurred background, and a lovely detailed flower. Something in the morning glory family I suspect. In Tennessee I've seen bindweed this color, but ours are usually blue or very pale lavender.

    The light certainly makes this photo. Well spotted and taken. The light is confined to the little bunch of dry grass with no spillover, creating a visual puzzle. The warm wooden floor is the perfect backdrop.

    Lovely seasonal sequence, and I love the candles thought they are kinda scary. Glad you were keeping a close watch!

    That reindeer is so big I almost missed him! Pleasing seasonal scene with a nice curved leading line that takes us into the setting. Glad you didn't over brighten it like some seasonal scenes, it looks quite nice like this.

    That's a terrific train scene, full of power and movement, set against some scenic mountains with a nice sky above. The others are nice too. I like the sweet little chapel but I wonder if the sky might contain a bit more detail that editing could bring forth. Good set!

    An evocative image, with that Mary-figure angled slightly away from us and the onlookers engaged in tasks we have to think about to figure out. The profusion of lilies into the foreground acts as a barrier between the figure and the onlookers, separating the venerated from the devotees. The lighting, as in Rich's submission, is a main character here. The image has the feel of a movie scene or a painting, very beautiful.
