I just kept bumping this one. I spotted jagar's so I know this is not his but I also bet he loves it and maybe even wishes it was LOL I would probably have tried to do something with that sticker in the lower right - desaturate, maybe? But the expressions, the composition, the reflections, the framing are all perfect. 9 Voted earlier.

I'm looking at my top picks and this is among them - they are all so very different from one another. I love a blocky, bold, geometric abstraction and this fits the bill perfectly. Colors are great, too. I might have cropped even tighter on the right, losing the pole, but I don't know. 9 Voted earlier.

Cyrano de Bergerac

Comment:
What a wonderful title. I try not to be influenced by titles even though I love to find a particularly apt one - not sure I have succeeded here. Great light and colors, love the lines and shapes, the hint of the figure on the balcony?, the play of light and shadow. 9 from me Voted earlier.

Cool subject, love the colors, and the processing - which I would ordinarily find overdone - is just right. 9 Voted earlier.

I have never liked centered better. What a gorgeous image - the figures are nice and clear and so carefree. Love the ripples in the sand in the foreground. Top three for me. Voted earlier.

I'm with Wendy, Lydia and Levy - gave this an 8 and just loved it. Color and motion are wonderful, Michelle.

Week 6. Call of the Wild

Excellent detail. He looks cold with that lifted foot and the light background (which was doubtless water but looks a lot like snow to me).
