Les Fleurs Du Lumiere

Nice sectioning of color groups moving back through the frame. The bright bit of dirt in the front left distracts a bit, maybe crop out a teeny bit off the bottom? The most impressionistic looking part, to me, is that strip of whites and reds - the background greenery looks almost pontillistic.

Absolutely should have been an entry! Your sojourn is really teaching you to find the beautiful in the seemingly plain and ordinary.

I think you eclipsed the original - nicely done.

Loving that new macro, huh? Beautifully shot and great, subtle idea for the challenge theme. Congrats on 4th!

I've got to stop looking at images, having a first reaction, and then glancing at the comments before commenting myself - it would keep me from feeling guilty about writing something that sounds just like the comments that came before. But, well, I saw this as an overhead shot of a spinning dancer, too! :)

But I still have no certainty that the image is what I think it is, and that's the beauty and effectiveness of this shot - the crisscross patterns and deep shadows throw all sensible interpretation out of alignment and we're left with a delicious mystery to gaze upon.

A bit of selective blurring, perhaps? Very effective, having bits of him sharp while his "props" are doing a disappearing act.

Passing through brief episodes of light and dark - very metaphoric. There's even a rainbow at the end. :)

Capture of motion is rarely dull to look at - this is another great example. Lots of mystery and mood to this shot.

Riding the Metro? Nice abstraction and good mix of color to help distinguish the shapes.
