Day No. 43

this is an excellent photograph .. so much going on and such a wonderful story in the image .. i'm thinking 'devotion' coz that's how it looks to me .. and how typical that the guy is in shorts and the woman looks like she's rugged up for the snow, except of course for her feet !! .. :)
edit after posting .. how funny that i posted this and then read ken's comment about the shoes !! :)

i prefer the yellow one ... but the colours in both are brilliant .. love the perspective in this one .. and i totally sympathise with you about the wind .. so often i'm stooped over, real close to that flower or bug or wotever, and i've got it right where i want it, then suddenly there's a gust of wind .. i try and go with the flow and tell myself that its just not meant to be .. etc .. and that i'll get the perfect shot in another moment when the wind dies down .. if not then i'm sure i'll get that perfect shot tomorrow .. hmmmmmm .. i think the saying is 'tomorrow never comes' .. unfortunately that's working for me !!!

WOW .. WOW .. WOW ... this is intense .. the colours are absolutely amazing .. so dramatic and so beautiful .. and if you cant choose which image to put in here then put them all !!! ... this is a joy to behold .. i'm waxing all lyrical ... and its a flower pic too!! ... i'm not a huge fan of flower pics .. even tho i do a fair amount myself .. that's only coz i dont get out enough !! :)

that would'v been pretty upsetting to think you've unsubmitted and then you see it in the challenge .. i rather like this image for its drama and its abstract quality .. very sharpless and excellent colours !!.. :)

The Last Piece...

fantastic colours ... and funny too ... sorry about the poor score ... i'v looked thru this challenge just now after voting's finished, and so many really really good images have got horrible scores ... i think the voters are about due for the funny farm ... !!:)

man .. i totally love this image ..
i've been looking thru this challenge and cant believe some of the sucky scores that have been dished out .. usually when the image is slightly different or 'artistic' ... this one is a perfect case in point .. there's so much going on .. the colours are beautiful .. i love the green leaves at the bottom of the image .. it looks like a composite of at least two or three different images overlayed ...
when i was looking at your video in my space a huge thunderstorm came & i had to close everything down really really quick right when i was in the middle of the comment .. i had to register just to make that comment as well ... i'll have to go back and have another look .. :)

Walking Through Walls
by posthumous

Comment:
absolutely stunning photograph ... i love the different dimension type feeling i get from this ... i can just imagine the child merging and then passing thru that wall .. 4.9355 just goes to show that a very high percentage of the voters really dont have any idea when it comes to artistic images .. :)

Alter Ego

love the colours and the interesting subject .. excellent shapes ... funny how when we're doing a side challenge it often influences our entries into the 'real' ones .. a lot of totally excellent sharpless going on here !!.. :)

Shadows & Reflections

Comment:
this is totally excellent .. love the high contrast and the somber lighting around the chair .. the colours are excellent .. it has an emotive quality which is always a winner in my book .. :)
