Nautical Bridge

That the nantucket lightship? Whoever you are, if you're around here let's get together sometime... I really appreciate the nautical bridge take, and I scored this a 7 for lateral thinking. It's a nice, tight image, although I might have cropped out the piling on the left, or included more of it in the shot. I'm a little bugged by the magenta shift showing up in the sky and on the highlights on the bridge. Gave it a 7.

Separating Colors

I don't have a cllue how this is gonna do, but it's way outside the box and I like it a lot as an abstraction that actually meets the challenge. Nice title too :-)

Very, very nice. Sweet shot. I wish the hand weren't so fish-belly white, though.

Earth and Sky

Comment:
This is fantastically beautiful and dreamlike. It's much more "sky" than "earth", though, and it's hard to read it as an earth/sky separation. Even so, a very strong entry and I score it high.

Oil & Water Just Don't Mix

Really nice abstraction. I'm not convinced the "layering" of it was the best way to go, but it's very nice nonetheless. Strong entry.

Oil and Water

Spectacularly nice, but... The pure white foreground really bugs me, and the shadows along the 'ege are awkward too. That's all that's keeping it from a 10. Head and shoulders above most of the oil/water interpretations.

Frankly, I'm tempted to give this a 1 because I'm getting tired of your beach showing up in every damned challenge, zoomer :-) But the image is just too lovely to do that to, so I'll go the other way and give it a 10. At least you're moving up a notch on the metaphor meter. You get high points from me for thinking laterally with this, I love it.

Perhaps the best photo ever to finish last or second-to-last? And I was perfectly serious, not going for the brown at all. I'll explain it all tomorrow I guess, sigh...

At least I got 4 10's, LOL...

Incidentally, you CAN'T see the "finger" folded under; look at the other fingers, the same "web" under the finger shows the same shadow on them...
