I love this image of masses of light and dark wherein the water and shadows attain parity and there's an undercurrent of intimate drama. The light masses are more finely broken up into individual rocks and vegetation. The dark masses have some sparkle and translucence. The young woman is wonderfully posed, seemingly held down by shadow. My favorite in the challenge.

I wish I had given this its due consideration as I looked through the images during voting. My bad.

This ragamuffin image, eyes, disheveled hair and green mouth, is both sad and amusing. It's well observed. Good combination of textures.

This image is interesting and confounding in its use of self-referential reflections and disparate elements. The woman's attitude is great. When I say that this is arty I by no means mean pretentious. It's arresting and piques the mind.

FOUR-WINDOWS

Comment:
Handsome set of distortions in these four windows which makes a unified image. The colors pleasantly harmonize. Sleek and modern but not at all in your face. To nit pick, it's a bit tilted.

The window here is more implied than evident, but done in such a strong and simple fashion that, for me at least, it's of small note. The person's look and three fingers are perfect. The success of this image hinges on the clarity of whites, and that's nailed too.

Windows Blues

Comment:
Even without the bottom half of this image this would be beautiful in its own way. The windows are poetically ramshackle and in lovely light. The stuff before the house and within, well, it is what it is. Now add the expanse of blue flowers and you have something special. It's a magical setting.

Serene. Clean image, clean laundry. The windows themselves are an uninteresting afterthought, but that's fine since it's all about pure simplicity. The clothing, on a nice bias, confidently (to ascribe attitude to fabric) contrast with the red building.
