Face to Face

This is probably my top pick. I wish there wasn't the scratched texture on the bw side - the black and white is enough for a story. Speaking of which, I'd love to know what you were thinking when you put this together . . . what made you decide to put BW on the left and color on the right? I can imagine a story from either arrangement . . . just interested in knowing what you were telling.

Very cool. No real preference for color or bw but I especially like the way this came together. Awesome perspective on source photo, too.

Color hands down for me in this one. Would be without the processing on the bw (esp grain in background) but that cinches it. Still my top - or one of my top picks in what turned out to be a very cool challenge.

Stepping up to tell you I was one of your 10's, Mark. I love this. Never a doubt. Congratulations.

Tough call, Roz! I would probably have make the same decision you did but I just love this angle on the web.

Gorgeous! The figure way out on the rock is scarcely noticeable, but what a discovery once you see it - lovely scale. Congrats on the HM.

So cool - everything works beautifully here IMO, Mary Ann - the out-of-bounds look of the branch, the texture, the weathered frame, and, of course, the birds. Charming and one of my very top picks.

Wonderful work, Anita. Love the dress, the setting, and, of course, the child - adorable! Congratulations on the Yellow (my 9)
