This was one of my favorites. One of my 10s. I'm sad to see a straight out copy of the previous winner get the blue and creative photos like this one get low ranking.

Spiral Anomaly

To artsy and blurry for my taste. For a challenge named Stripes, that is. Stripes remind me of something more graphic.

Like the idea.
I would have preferred a bit more sharpness or depth of field, though.

WOW! I love it. Love the idea, love the colors and the sharpness and the way yoou camouflaged the end of the spiral (it is a plastic spirally toy thingy, right?).
If i have to find a remark, it's the reflection if the light on the ball. the small radial lines are OK, the big one at 8 o'clock (inside the ball) bothers me. Probably couldn't be avoided.

Interesting.

A bit underporcessed, IMO. Visible CA on the black stripes in the glass, yellowish cast on the whites on the right. Some uneven ligting in the left. Composition-wise, i would have preferred more straigh-on angle.

I like the idea, but the stripes become a bloody mess when they hit the bottle.

You clearly focused on the background. I wonder what the shot would look like if you focused on the glasses, or went for deeper DoF to have both the glasses and the background in focus.

Originally posted by nam: I gave this one of my top scores (9 and I only had two 10's in the challenge) and hoped it would be higher - but I was afraid it wasn't "fence" enough for many. I do adore the depth of field and though I am not usually all that fond of selective color, I think it works nicely here. Nice finish.

I knew it wasn't a typical fence shot, but i went for it anyways. The more standard ones that i made i didn't like. 6+ is a decent score. Finished in the Top20. The depth of field was slightly tuned in post processing. Just slightly. As for the selective color, i'm kind of a sucker for it. I love it. I made a version with the gold color left on the "fence" (actually it's a bridge railing). It was too shiny. This way, the red padlock really stands out.

For the curious ones, the writings are in Cyrillic and it says: Moni Viktor. Moni is short for Monika i guess.

Cute.
I would have preferred if there was no soft focus around the border, but i still like the shot.
