I have to say, I'm happy to see that this got the posthumous blue! Such a whimsical shot that oozes happy, warm fuzzy feelings! The lens flare looks like little bits of magic sprinkling down over the couple. Wonderful! :)

bars of light and shadow

When I first looked at this, I saw the bars of light and the shadows that overlapped each other. After reading your comments, I started looking only at the light, and what I had seen as shadows suddenly became just space between another set of bars of light. Great optical illusion!

Oh, this is fantastic! The way they are so evenly spaced, heading in the same direction, completely synchronized and mostly dressed in dark colors. They're all in their own little worlds, not realizing they've become part of something bigger in that one moment. A wonderful capture!

A great blend of colors and layers. For a photo where so much is out of focus and the entire shot is made of the same subject, there is a lot to explore.

Wow. Just wow. Great eye and quick reflexes to capture this before anyone moved. It's amazing the number of things that just happen to have worked out to help make this such a perfect shot. The two round mirrors that hold the key faces, the third face on the ad up above to complete a triangle of faces, the lighting on the older woman's face, the angles... and I like that everyone is looking away from each other, yet the 3rd face in the ad is staring directly at the viewer. And the b/w conversion is the perfect presentation for it all. Wow. Just wow.

What a cutie! Looks like she helps with wrapping the presents like mine does! I have no idea how you came up with that border, it's completely quirky, but strangely it works perfectly with this shot!

Great action capture.... I love the little face peeking out in the back.

Oh dear. Maybe not the best photo technically, but it certainly gets bonus points for making me laugh out loud!

Color in a B/W World

Viewmaster! Not sure this goes under puzzle macro for me, but I do like this shot on it's own. Nice the way you put the machine with extra reels in the background, and this was a great use for the selective color (I'm usually not a fan of that type of processing).

A fiber optic lamp? This makes for a great photo, regardless of the challenge topic. I like the little stars at the tips.
