Pini Vollach, In the Pictopia exhibition. As with Stephen's image, this one has a lot of background that distracts from the subject itself. The messy floor is also distracting, since it seems to be crying out for some cleaning by way of Photoshop. The child seems lost in her own world, and is either coming or going, in movement, which is enhanced by the blur. I'd like to see more or her, and less of the candy stripes surrounding and dominating her.
Tina Manley, Another Sacred Valley Road. Fabulous landscape, which I presume is Hawaii. Would love to hike down that winding road, with camera in hand.
Bobbie Blazy, Jack. Interesting pair of phallic shapes. Calling Dr. Freud!
Lea Murphy, honeysuckle trellis. The symmetry of the image is both its strength and weakness. One the one hand it's too static, too evenly balanced, which suggests (now that we're treading Freud's territory) anal retentive. But if you were to crop one side or the other, it doesn't quite work. A paradox, actually.
Roy H. Miller, Breaking the Rule of Thirds. This is an interesting effect, but then like the dragonfly background above it seems somewhat at odds with the nature and feel of the subject, which is bird in a tree.
Emily L. Ferguson, Despite Their Ample Raiment They Wanted a Piece of his Loincloth. Love the precision, the detail. Next best thing to being there.
