Me, Unmuted (So to Speak)

Beautiful, and kind of a statement about beauty. Love the colors, the transition between them, the abrupt curtaining of nightfall, the silhouetted, feathery treetops, the mood of peace and wonder.
Personal favorite of the challenge.

I Will Always be with You

Sensitive portrayal of the aching for a lost love one. That it's an ordinary, fine day imparts the sense that this missing person is daily in one's thoughts. I like how her translucence is such that she's almost there, almost.

Here are both hulking memories and the sparkly flashes that can surface at any time, however unlikely. Rather than through a glass darkly, it looks like here it's through a clear but obscuring sheet of plastic. Interesting take, imaginative. I like the muddled haziness of it.

Fading into nature

Comment:
Highly effective depiction of inner memory, sinuous pathways and chopped up flashes. Some are still green and fresh, others seemingly dried and gone, but never really so.

This lovely image has the feeling of memory. It fades into but a semblance, it's there but ungraspable, it's like the constant turning of the leaves, it's bright and dark. It's the parent of dreams (just threw that in). Many memories stay sharp and clear, but so often they look like this. Great disposition of colors. I love how the three trees cooperate in establishing a central balance, anchoring the scene.

So often the given title works against itself. Here, though, it invites one into an image that first appears impenetrable. And impenetrability has much to argue for itself, but here the title opens the world. Now the phantasmagorical scene holds infinite meaning, the trajectory of humanity, the microscope of time. The mixture of shades, shapes and rhythm is excellent. The audience below, the performance above, and all extracted by the imagination and the evocative setup.
Personal favorite of the challenge.

Rewarding to look at. The handsomely burnished silvers and grays are the fine structure of the whole. The casually placed plates with the leftovers feels natural. Altogether, a work of art.
So, really, another favorite.

How to fill the frame, and the composition is simply balanced. A fine way to fill an afternoon as well.

Nicely stacked up, lovely colors and an altogether beautiful scene. The splashy orange bird seems to anchor the picture as the anomaly. The background appears to be floating.
