Don Roberts - Canyon de Chelly
I wonder if the original inhabitants saw this or if only their
absence and decay causes the reference to a face. Maintaining shadow
detail with the glaring sunlight of that region is difficult.
Rene M Hales - Seedlings
Before and After in the same image, but the shadows on the *before*
imply man's hand on the land. The magnificence of *after* is glowing.
Dan Mitchell - Market Place
Enjoy the juxtaposition of bowed backs implying slow with the Fast
Food sign. The technological aspects of the photo are unnecessary but
fascinating to the point I want to learn more.
Christopher Strevens - Happy but frightened
The eyes are the strong point in this capture. For me, their
expression belies the gesture of drinking. The glow coming through
the white hair adds to the comments, while the drip of drink says so
much about the state of aging.
Alberto Tirado - Slow Night at the Fire Station
While a complete figure would have been nice (foot on the figure to
ground it), the perspective of the image is strong. Paint of the
walls, lines of ceiling, lights all *point* to the engine front.
Mark Harris - Samantha Lightpainted
Cropping of the figure seems just right. The dark areas mold the
figure, while the light areas (with tattoos and adornments) balance
the tones.
Andrew Davidhazy - Diamond in the rough
An image that is extremely balanced with color and frame edges. The
tension of the incomplete white "diamond" works, as the irregular
blue blotch plays off the geometric yellow line.
