At the end of the line

I'm voting you higher because of the soft focus and/or graininess of this. It has a soft mood, somewhere between sad and beautiful.

End of the Line

how did you get that sailboat to float over her head like that? How did you bring the dreams of a young girl to life? How did you bring heaven down to earth? Why, with leading lines, of course! 10

The Players

perfect fulfillment of challenge. this is like the moment of creation, when nothingness is on the edge of becoming something... characters, a story. It all begins with the separation of light from darkness. We see Kaos staining the left side of the picture, and we see darkness pierced by divine shafts of white. smells like jjbeguin to me... 10

Human Achievement

this is just fascinating. somehow everything on the bottom of the picture is iconic. The Business Man, the Port-o-San, the Bridge, the Yacht, the Power Line. Those horizontal lines somehow make everything abstract and in motion. This is an artist's photograph more than a photographer's photograph. 10

Wow. I hope I get to see this on the homepage. the exposed midriff is a little distracting but it doesn't bother her so why should it bother me? Not just a glorious composition, but a perfect execution of the challenge. 10

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

Comment:
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
