I could not bring myself to look at this infantile challenge, let alone vote. Thus I missed this image which, based on most of the first page of results, would have come as a blessed relief. The title alone would have been the pause that refreshed. Please accept a post-dated 10.

The Way

Well, I know it's you Z, because I saw and admired it elsewhere. But I'd almost certainly have known anyway; it would have been a choice of just two people. It's my clear top pick in the challenge because it's beautiful, deceptively simple, and I looked at it for longest and never got bored. Thank you.

First I though you should've cropped off the bottom part, then I thought, "What the Hell do I know; it's your picture." On reflection, I like it very much, just as it is. The dark void makes the person's strange body position all the more improbable and thus more wonderful. Thank you.

Poor Janice. I'll bet she feels just like Alice. I love the colours, tones and voluptuous shapes. Top three for me. Thank you.

Like Humans Do

Comment:
A giant faux-moon, a humanoid perfectly intersected by an urban skyline, a tortured tree and a massive, crushing crucifix. And on top of all that a marvelous title to tease all the parts into a coherent plait. I could easily be reading far more into this than you may have intended, but I suspect not. I just love it. Top three for me. Thank you.

Like a fierce ink drawing blotted into reluctant cohesion with a damp sponge. I like it very much. Thank you.

The Trees
by kleski

Comment:
Two fairly similar trees studies in this challenge, and both of them very good. For me, yours has the slight advantage, though I guess the other might score higher. I think it's the horizontal layering that I prefer. Plus it's B&W which I'm a sucker for. Thank you.

Remarkable how engaging is this photograph. Every additional moment spent looking at it is repaid with something new. One of the best examples here lately of a thing being so much more than what it really is. Thank you.

Beautiful portrait, proving (among other things) that it's not necessary to have grotesquely 'pimped' eyes to make an impact and convey feeling. Thank you.
