Thirst Quencher!

I wondered how this one would score. It was one of my favorites in this challenge because of how well it captures the kinesthetic energy of a good, heavy (but beneficial) rainfall. It does what my favorite stock photography does: hint at the subtle wonders of mundane reality while remaining practically useful for supporting a variety of storytelling uses. It's good to see that this kind of composition is rewarded this highly, because to me this is both beautiful on its own and commercially very marketable--that dream combo I find so hard to achieve in my own work. Congrats on the yellow!

I'm hearing this as a motivational poster of some kind. 🙂

Camden Suite, Evening

Camden should license this from you. It's very flattering to the property! And the perspective and lighting are key to that.

This is such a beautiful portrait. I think I'd like to see the version where your subject is reading--where it feels like a stolen moment rather than a posed shot. But it's amazing exactly as is, too.

My gosh this is gorgeous--and in exactly the way this challenge invites. Congrats on communicating the ephemeral beauty of an unrehearsed moment in an inconspicuous place.

Wow. This is begging to be made into a wall canvas for a kids playroom. 🙂

I'm a big fan of abstract art photography like this. I love how it invites the viewer to impose their own story and imagination on what it's "about."

Simply gorgeously executed. Probably my personal favorite in this challenge.
