Sanctuary in Symmetry

Gorgeously framed, tastefully processed, and pitch perfect for this challenge. This helps me understand how to better photograph the painted churches near where I live out here in central Texas.

Green

This is literally my very favorite shade of green. And the artistic, painterly treatment and soft lighting are just sublime.

I appreciate the big swing with this one. The vanishing point aligns with the challenge theme, and if this were an impressionism challenge, it would be a contender for the blue in my book. It's perfect "waiting room art" for a place where people are continuously on their way to someplace else.

This was one of my top picks in the challenge. An impressive debut performance here at DPC! Congrats.

Architectural Form: Old Shapes and New Spaces

Comment:
The architectural interest here is quite intriguing. I'm curious--is that an art installation in the foreground or a structural frame of something under construction?

Skills Gap Widens to Critical

From a pure aesthetic standpoint, this image is like textbook-level industrial photography. I saw the editorial usefulness immediately, but to me this is the sort of first-rate stock image that can be used in many different storytelling contexts. A real achievement in my book!

That's a clever title. I love the "eye contact" of the left subject with the right. Well posed and perfect for a greeting card. :-)

You're speaking my cinematic language with this neo-noir aesthetic. :-)

This is truly brilliant. My only nit is that I wish the artist in the foreground were slightly more in the frame so that this image could afford a nudge of perspective correction to the left. It feels a little off-kilter (leaning to the right) in an unintentional way. But my guess is losing any more of the artist's head would kill the benefits to be realized from that correction, and the storytelling here is quite compelling even as it is.

Making Jazz
by LevT

Comment:
Vies with another in this challenge for my personal favorite. I love the way this image--as the title suggests--is about the music-making experience itself rather than the musician. The framing and composition choices here are what make that happen, and it's a wonderful capture for it.
