Dancing with Cows

Comment:
amazing effect, it seems like the same cow floating in space in four different incarnations. The exaggerated perspective is dizzying. And the backdrop for them is nice and dark and thematically neutral. Pure pleasure to look at. 10

Restoration
by RKT

Comment:
it took me several viewings before I recognized the hand beneath the water. what a powerful mystery. What finally wins me over is the roughness of the shapes, it really does feel like something is being restored, and it's a rough, painful process, or at least a profound process that requires disintegration and reintegration. I am reminded of Achilles being dipped into the holy waters, of Vulcan's forge, of Jesus's baptism. 10

Sun Valley Skater

Comment:
her face, though highly expressive, is ambiguous. she could be afraid, or sad, or just anxious. I see this as a metaphor for growing up, skating into the unknown. That's why it is appropriate that there is so much space in front of her, and it's "blacked out" by that curtain. 10

The Wind

she seems to be of the wind, a spirit who can dissolve into your eyes. 10

Nice work, Kronus! It's like a night sky of flowers! You're an up-and-comer, dude.

Abstract Cones
by renegade1966

Comment:
I love how the cones line up so perfectly. I'm not crazy about the harsh shadow cast by two of them (but not the third, mysteriously). Maybe you're not a fan of post-processing, but I would like to see this with higher contrast, or simply an "auto levels" in Photoshop. As for taking the photo, I'd consider getting even lower for a perfectly straight on view of the cones, waiting for the sun to go behind a cloud, or lining up the shot so the shadows are directly behind the cones. The appeal of this shot is in its flatness.

But before you listen to me, realize that I am a lover of the visual arts and a specialist in confusing DPC voters.

at first I thought it was a lake, then I realized it was blocks of some sort. They are nicely integrated!

I know some new mothers and sometimes it does seem like a child can get lost among his prodigious paraphernalia. I love a picture that makes a statement!

great title! I don't like the red boa hijacking the composition, however. Give me a b/w version of this photo so I can make it a favorite!
