I wouldn't have thought to shoot in this aspect ratio for this. I think it works nicely to create flow and rhythm within those patches. Quiltwork (or patchwork, I guess?) is a big part of the immigrant heritage here in central Texas; you can see little squares painted on signs all across the countryside indicating families' identification with Czech-Germanic-Wendish heritage. So this one brought a smile for me.

Congrats, Barbara! I had a feeling this one would do well. :-)

One of my top picks. I'm befuddled by the outlier 2 vote, which seems to be the only thing keeping this from being the real Blue here. I found this to be an original and compelling take on the challenge. Congrats!

Brilliant seeing. I'd love to know the genesis of the concept.

Well, at least he gave you excuse to capture this edgy little abstract. I rather like the yellow-green tones, textural finds, and use of leading lines in this frame.

I'm not sure which is more impressive--the quality of this image and its processing (delightful) or the practically cinematic ambience of this picture-perfect holiday interior.

Gorgeous photography. I do wish the subject was a tad more obvious. I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. I just know it looks beautifully captured.

It's a delightful work of art. And well captured. Good job hiding yourself behind the owl while still leaving enough reflection to see the prepared table in the background.

Delightful. A pause in the holiday rush to enjoy the little things that it would be easy to miss.

This looks like a fun offbeat day.
