Beautifully-rendered, muted tonalities. Perspective, obviously, dominates this image, so check that off LOL.

That Acadia national Park? Canon 10-22mm? jejejeĆ¢„Ā¢ One wonders if the processing coulkd have been a tad more luminous, but a very strong entry rgardless.

I wonder how may people thought I did this one? Me being the skiff guy and all... Lovely work, high score from me.

This is quite haunting. Use of massed perspective and slightly washed-out sense of depth haze is emotionally very powerful. That the splashes of light are confined to the BG works particulalrly well. This is perhaps the most emptionally evocative entry in thsi challene, a shot that seems to "be what it is" rather than a textbook illustration of perspective devoid of emotional context. My top pick for that reason, Good luck!

Amazingly wonderful image. New meaning to the term "ants in her pants"... Not only does this capture the (priceless) moment, it's also technically flawless re: lighting and focus. Instant favorite.

If only the tongue of white bench weren't there, you'd have a virtually perfect comkposition. It's unfortunate that the ear and the edge of the collar are not int he frame, as well. But a very nice piece of work that I have enjoyed viewing.

Wow. wonderful, "real" capture of skin tones and hair, right down to the vaguely "bruised" look under the eyes that's so characteristic of some redheads. Beautiful framing witht he hair, as well.

In many ways a very average picture, but a striking POV. I wish the post processing were a little "richer", it feels somewhat washed out to me, like half a stop too bright overall.

I'm fascinated by this bizarre image. The complementary lighting of the two ears is a remarkable grace note.

Absolutely beautiful work with light here. Stands out in its unpretentiousness. A remarkable sense of the man comes through for a shot with dark glasses :-)
