Love the sense of dizzying perspective AND the person at the bottom edge interacting with the camera.

A terrific POV reminiscent of a ground level up shot of a skyscraper. Wonderfully disoriention. Among my top picks

Fabulous. My top pick. The manhole cover is perfectly placed.

I've never seen purple asphalt before, but it works well here as part of a fantasy color palette of iridescent autumn. Nicely done.

This is a strong image for me. Didn't score this challenge, but would have ranked this high. Put me in the camp of not disturbed by the gradient colors, and clear that the railing in front of faces is the distraction. To me the color cast is a counter balance to the sameness of the repeating balconies. There the same, but with a different mood in each one. I'd expect the inhabitants of each unit to be in some way defined by the colors. Congrats and kudos!

I'm a decent speller, but as with Beetle, I'm a careless reader. Didn't notice misspellings. Didn't score with any language penalties. What I like most here is the isolation of the subject, even in the context of a subway car. It really works for the title film title concept. Not sure I'd want to sit through it, though.

Well done! Fascinating choices in color, blending, still and motion. Keeps me looking.

This is one of the photos that just reaches out and grabs my attention. Calls me back, and stops me in my tracks as I'm looking through the challenge entries to vote or review after rollover. The quality of light and shadow plays well with the textures, and oddly, the busyness of the composition in no way detracts from the central focus on the full leaf in the center lower third. Remarkable.
