Dogwood misdirection :) The pointing arm is leading my eye to that burst of bokeh in the top right. Nicely subtle, though not good for your score, I guess. ;)

Leading lines work well for me here - and I like how you placed the most light area on the left third of the shot, you get a sense of expansiveness from all that light-going-to-black on the right, and sets off the "main" area well, even better, I think, than the cropped version. I see this as, beyond the meet-the-challenge aspect, a study of light and shadows, so I'm not concerned too much about loss of detail. I suppose I should have voted this challenge. :(

This is a refreshingly creative take on the challenge theme - I do think the yellow wall area detracts a bit from the full vertigo effect, if only because it is a contrasting color, perhaps - maybe there would have been a way to capture the door with the same angles to the lines, without including the side wall?

Crazy wild - leading lines all over the place. I like the title marriage with the image, great catch!

Fantastic in b/w - personally I might have gone for more of a crop at the top, so the white sky parts up there aren't competing for attention with the doorway whites.

I'm one of those for whom it looks completely black on one monitor, and the image is clearly visible (though dim) on another. I have to say though, that when I got it on a monitor where I could see it, I'm amazed at the range of detail in the tones - it's like the image holds a hidden treasure. Seek and ye shall find. :) I really like that aspect of it, but agree with Juli that for the Peace challenge at least, having to hunt the image to find the image doesn't engender a peaceful feeling, and so might have run counter to any other expression of peace in the image, for the typical viewer.

Damn. How did you even see this? Great catch!

Give Peas a Chance

You know for an oob take on the challenge theme, this did pretty well - top third of the challenge, even if the score is middling. If I weren't already inclined to like peas, your tasty image here would go far to sway me in their favor! :) I especially like that you thought to include the flower, something non-traditional in what could have been just a standard food shot.

Congrats on finishing so well! I would think it's rather hard to get white on white to contrast like that - you done good!

This is a smart and subtle representation of the challenge concept - these people look really connected, in the moment.
