They just don't make those work-share spaces like they used to, eh?

Oh this may be one of my very favorites of yours, Lynn. This is a marvelous balance of color, texture, architectural abstraction, and urban storytelling. A phenomenal accomplishment.

Again, I love how the square crop contains the chaos here. But in this case. Something about that equilateral framing just relieves the eye of the tendency to wander the frame too much and instead seek out the story within--and this b/w treatment really makes those ducks and girl's attention to them the clear focal point. Nicely done.

Simply an exquisite use of composition to fill the frame. Nice seeing. :-)

Barbara makes a good point: The sky really does look "painted" in this composition--and it makes me linger.

A really terrific example of how the square crop can "contain" the chaos of a busy scene. I'm not sure what it is, but something about the lateral symmetry of the square dimensions makes something like this work in a way that I think a rectangular crop simply wouldn't. And with the dog's expression placed right in the vicinity of a ROT intersection, you've really got some interesting passive storytelling happening in this frame.

Apropos of nothing: Man is that a big bag of jerky!

Very nice. Reminds me of some of the more modern stained glass treatments I saw in Chicagoland.

Moody. Melancholy. Makes me want to sing a slow sea shanty.

Simply magical. I can't imagine a more postcard-worthy seasonal shot of this iconic sight. Blue for this challenge by a mile--and needs to be licensed commercially right away. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! More than a full point ahead of the competition! Congrats! I love it when the consensus on a powerful image like this is so clear that the Blue is that much sweeter for the winner.
