I can't even tell what that is, but its reflective and shimmery and invasive. Where are you taking me? I love this shot. 10

Tunnel

one of my favorites for this challenge. Minimalist and yet noisy at the same time. The lines are subtle yet rough. The face for all its tininess is expressive and commanding. 10

beautiful textures throughout this photo. I love that there are lines on the cat as well. Stellar fulfillment of the challenge. 10

Don´t Fence Me In

Comment:
this shot is partitioned into sections that compete for attention. that little fragment in the lower left is a rich surprise when the eye finally gets there, and is foiled perfectly by the impossibly dark shadow of lower right. It looks like a fenced off section of darkness. In fact, this photo reminds me of nothing so much as a Judgement Day painting, with the "sheep" being separated from the "goats." The distant background is that Heaven we will never attain. This is one of my personal ribbon winners and a fave.

I like that the girl is not brought out. She's happy just where she is.

I like the large, 3-dimensional emptiness on the left side of this photo.

I love all the rectangles of light and shadow that frame their interaction.

So gay a flower bereaved the mind

Comment:
the colors are weird, but they came out of the camera that way (accentuated by curves). The flower really did have green in its petals.

Originally posted by agenkin: I like this image. It's pure composition, with very little else. I don't like the jaggies along the middle rope, which, undoubtedly, comes from the extreme crop, followed by aggressive sharpening.

You are correct! Like you said, I sacrificed everything for composition. And I think grain is sexy.
