Enigma Chillout

Mysterious and evocative. The attitudes and positioning of the people pique one's curiosity. The amber toning lays down a sultry atmosphere. As if that isn't enough, the clock overlay, with the one like a flow of blood from her nose, is a percussive stamp of unexpected danger. Strong image.

My personal favorite of the challenge by 1.7 miles. It's not static but full and imbued with life. It hews to the topic, portrait of the elderly as a cohort, a situation, more so than this and that example. Only upon seeing your image did I realize the point. It's congenial, cozy and everyday. The guys are relaxed and, I guess, unposed. Nicely composed amidst the busy area and well-suited to black and white. Tim mentioned the neat gargoyle on the right, which adds some twisted whimsy, and I was particularly fascinated by the blown out white hat on the gent in the foreground. Overall, I'm forced by truth and justice to award "do you" a Shadow Blue.

Flamboyant essence of a dog, shown but beyond attainment without such a leap and acknowledgement. Probing artistry which should flip this challenge on end.

A quixotic hallucination, keeping her head above the water that someone is biking over.
