I especially like the shadow grid on the foreground and the way it frames and draws attention to the catcher. Love the colors - looks like late afternoon just after or maybe before a storm to me.

Very nice find. This challenge has me looking down a lot :) Such great shapes and textures underfoot . . .

I like the muted tones a lot. This looks like a quiet corner and the colors suit that. That's not a ball . . . what is it? I'm curious about the design on the bw part, too.

I wasn't thinking generations, but I did have much the same worlds apart reaction as Mariuca. For me it was the contrast between the torn up foreground and that natty gate (don't really know what to call it) that first struck - that and his obviously contemplative pose.

This is terrific and a most interesting natural abstract. I'd forgotten about BW Abstract - will have to be more attentive to what I post in this side challenge.

Startled. Those eyes! Not sure which animal is more surprised and wary.

It's the stockings that do it, I think, though the white slashes on her boots and jacket are important contributers . . .

No problem at all for me that the end thumb is horizontal and I love that you presented these together. But an idea. For me the two parts that really work together are the girl and the center (mannequins and hydrant) of the second image. What if you took a narrow slice out of each and put those together - maybe with no separator or maybe with - to make a square?
