Another great entry Gin Tay, this is a lovely piece of work, the subject is really appealing and very well done. I may have cropped the left at the end of the painting to give more of an impression of a larger continuous work as you have on the right.

This certainly fits the challenge theme. I like the way the bins are also a part of the larger graffiti mural. Compositionally I think I would have tilted the camera to exclude the sky and roof furniture it doesn’t add anything whereas more street foreground would help contain and concentrate the focus more

An image that does not meet the challenge

Sorry Marcel this one doesn’t work for me. I have to agree with one of your commenters, there needs to be a sense of placement where this part of a larger scene such as wall mural with additional street scene if that is indeed the case. It actually feels like some bizarre PS filters have been used to transform a normal image which is a long way from my interpretation of the challenge theme.

The motion blur works really well here, I like it. What also makes it work so well is your timing with the small aperture to create that dynamic starburst effect in exactly the right place. The balance of the runner and the lighthouse is good, even the exaggerated swing of the arms also creates a further dynamic all finished off nicely with that huge grin it results in an original and appealing image, well done Yao.

Thank you for your explanation it saved me some head scratching! A very creative idea that you have captured well, I love the distortions that the water has created it gives the whole image a new dynamic that works really well

What an amazing bird Janine, I’m intrigued to know what it is, presumably an owl of some sort? This is quite different from your normal entry a refreshing and effective portrait. Those eyes are incredible!

May I also add my congratulations Gin Tay, a great result for a great image. What a fascinating place and what a great way to present it. Your composition really emphasises the crowded space reaching up to the freedom of the open skies above. A great mix of colours adds to the interest of the image as a whole. I’m intrigued by the coloured brolly(?) at the top of the lower right of the building. A thoroughly well earned ribbon, thanks for your submission.

As I scrolled down this image you were the last person I expected this entry from, as you say, this is not your normal genre. You’ve made a great job of it Ronnie, the strong colours are a very dynamic backdrop to your very attractive model. I like the rim lighting effect on your model. The whole result is different and appealing it works well.

You’ve made great use of that huge lens Drake! As your commenters have already stated there is a huge amount of detail, looking at your details a bright night too! The cropping emphasises the crater you refer to well, sorry I can’t help with any additional info my moon mapping knowledge is non-existant.

I really like this though evidently the voters didn’t seem to rate it as highly as it deserved. There is a great dynamic to the image, together with the strong colours it has huge visual impact. The composition is good, the image has a very vibrant feel, a very creative result well done Nikki.
