Thanks, I've been struggling with that for every entry in the round. Not
whether or not the image is on topic (I believe they all are), but how to
distinguish between an entire round of almost all very very similar topics.

I am looking a lot at how specific the concepts are, whether the person had
a strong, clear idea of how he wanted his landscape to look, or just played
around until he got an attractive looking height-field. There are a lot of
concepts in this round which are *very* strong in that respect.

There were a few other artificial landscape concepts mentioned at the
beginning of the round. I am disappointed that none of them made it.

On the subject of on-/off-topic, see my post in "New Stills Topic: Frozen
Moments" thread.
Oh, yeah.. finally decided your image is definitely on-topic. It may not be
naturalistic but it definitely has an important point to make.
<jealousy>Wish I'd thought of it. </jealousy>

Wow. Thanks. About half way through, I really wished I *hadn't*. <g>

I think I am going to force myself to comment on a majority of the 
images then go back and re-evaluate my marking, especially regarding 
concept.  I have never found it so difficult  to figure out what to say 
( think? )

I think that makes at least 70 of us having the same problem.

Who said this round was going to be easy and/or boring

You, me and about 70 others, I think.
