I'm dying to come back after voting and see more about your processing. Its an effective homage to Norman Rockwell. Kudos. Hope it does well.

I'm guessing this might be Bodie, or some similar ghost town. The arrangement of the room and its contents feels staged. Nonetheless, this is a stunning photo. Highly effective use of wide angle, the B&W processing is impeccable, and it tells a story I want to know more about. Kudos. Hope it does well...

Not sure how much of the color palette was a result of post-processing vs the actual scene. Regardless this is a really effective use of limited colors (red/rust and greens). I wasn't initially sure what drew me to the photo. As I look more carefully, it's the combination of composition and color. Kudos... hope it does well.

Clever idea for the theme. I like the way depiction of the slightly irregular distances between seconds. Probably not something one would notice without the long shutter technique.

I'm usually not a big fan of such highly saturated images, but in this case the color palette and intesity of the color work well. Kudos... hope it does well.

Love the composition with three different points of attention with an overall balance intact. The B&W processing is quite effective, too. Kudos... hope it does well.

My 10th challenge is a good one for me ΓΆ€ΒΆ New PB ΓΆ€ΒΆ First entry over 6.

Thanks for the positive comments - This is really an interesting piece of architecture. Part of a whole City Hall, Conference Center, Performing Arts Complex in Escondido, CA. Handheld looking straight up. Talk about a crick in the neck... I gotta use the tripod more :)

... which is certainly better than optomistically hopeless. Nice work, wonderful expression, perfect exposure, and good response to an ambiguous theme. Kudos.
