| Gets better with each viewing. I love how the bg figures have more detail than the main trio. The way our memories are often far richer and more textured in the recall than while we are actually creating them. |

| Love seeing this again. Ubique's structural observations mirror my own. |

This was 'before my time' here... and I just stumbled upon it.
It's magnificent!
You'd arrived long before you got 'the comment'... but I know how you feel.
Good stuff... yeah... good stuff. |

The dark silhouettes are almost as strong as the rest of the image that is washed out. It almost has a painting like effect, and I love it. You proved that you don't necessarily need to play with 64 million colors to create an engaging picture. I wouldn't change anything here. Bravo:-)

| Of the two I have to say I like this one the best...and it is an image I had remembered from way back when the challenge came out but could not remember who had done it...til now:-). The silhouettes of the three ladies are deep and really pop off the white backdrop...to me I see them as three muses emerging out of the mists of time/history/inspiration or another viewpoint that contends with that is that it is a memory of three ladies (ancestors perhaps) emerging from the mists of memory; a day at the beach long gone but happy memories remain. For a while I had thought I was remembering this as another artist's work for it would make a good pairing of light and then shadow Arthur Domagala's The Dying of the Light |

Alicia,
I thought it was probably by  goodman too! And I know Lesley fairly well, so I refrained from making a laudatory comment because she'd only think I was sucking up to her with a bit of gratuitous flattery. She gets far too much of that for her own good, of course, so I said nothing as an act of kindness to her. Now that I know it was not by She, but instead by You, let me add my compliments on a very nice photograph.
The starkness of the B&W is super-duper of course, as are the reflected echoes of the Three Graces, but what I enjoyed the most was the relationship of that with the next two horizontal 'layers'. In the mid-layer, the people are tiny impressionistic figures representative of 'types' ... such as we see in architect's drawings of public spaces. They seem apart from the Three Graces in more than just distance. And in the third, background layer, the buildings on the skyline have an even more allusive character, as if just a flat cut-out background. Overall, this diminishing reality is very absorbing. Far too good for Lesley, now that I examine it more closely. |

| Cool catch 8) I wish the details of the humans where completely void so we only saw shapes. So I squint my eyes ;) |

Their presence was barely felt as they strolled down that stretch of sodden sand. For most, it would have been like a brush of wind, or a sudden chill, or perhaps even like a breath of warm air on the back of the neck. Not enough to alarm anyone, but certainly enough that the subconscious stopped briefly to wonder just what it was.
So they passed, these three, on their timeless journey that occupied not only that space, but every space in the universe, simultaneously, such was their power. In front of them, an endless nothing. Around them coursed all life and time and happening. Behind them, a decaying of time. Erased as they passed as if it had not happened at all.
They were the fates, the three. The beginning, the now, and the end. All of existence was owed to them, and all of existence was theirs, not to command or control, but to watch over and keep.
Their presence was barely felt as they passed, but their impact was undeniable. |

| On first look, I didn't think I'd like this, but the more I look the better it seems. Love the very high contrast and the way the mist blurs the distance. |

| I like this picture a lot - I gave it a 9, but for me, the real special parts of the image are the top right and left corners. I think the surf boy and the surfer, or the collection of figures top right could be photos in their own right. |

| This is just bizarre, high key and really dark shadows on the people in the foreground .... I love it, I find my eye going between the different people and there are no other distractions to see what they are all doing, surfing, paddling, walking, holding hands ... there is so much in this shot yet there is so little! Well done. |

| Like the contrast and reflections. The kid closest behind them and to the left is a bit of a distraction - not far enough back to be 'in the background' but not really part of the composition either. 8 |
