Madness Speaks

Strangely enough: I find myself coming back to this one - if I look at it with DPC eyes, I bypass it and think "ugh another 4 shots"...but then if I think of myself walking through a gallery with all these images oyunted beautifully on the walls and carrying a brochure of the exhibition entitled "Hell"... I would say that this would be really arresting and disturbing and haunting...it would make me shudder... so I'm going to vote with my artistic soul here and not with DPC conditioning.. and give this a 9.

A super modernist image: abstract and really striking.

The loveliest of the "heavenly skies" images. Love the golden hues and the crispness of the rays below the clouds. The tiny details on the horizon are also so sharp, but are just enough to give a sense of scale.

Lovely composition - almost looks as if there is an invisible line between the tree and the moon/sun.

The Void

A stunning image. Everything works well in this. The human form has become an abstract sculpture. Hope you do well.

One Man´s Heaven Is another mans Hell

I appreciate the talent in this picture: great composition, excellent light and conversion. But it really doesn't speak "heaven" to me. Yes I get the title, but the aggression and the attitude just communicate anger and violence: well this was my first reaction on seeing the image. I then read the title and went "oh okay I see what you're saying", but it's first impressions that count. I would probably have scored this higher over on the "Hell" challenge side.

Lovely capture. I find the foreground darkness too dominating. If the wooden railings had been more of a discrete frame, it might have given the image more balance. As it stands, it becomes an effort to find your subject - as opposed to drawing the viewer in (not sure if that makes any sense). Love the warm tones and low light.

A beautifully shot image, with great light control. It's a stretch for me in terms of the challenge topic, but it's a great image nevertheless.

A really strange and captivating image. I like the light rings in the sky. The front left of the church building is somewhat blown out, but in general this is an intriguing image.
