The road leads to Paradise
by Alex_Petrini

Comment:
the road gives this image a feeling of an optical illusion .
which is wonderful .
the road is actually going up .. into that amazing scene .. rather than in front .
great image for the challenge .. :)

When it falls

Comment:
this is an absolute masterpiece Anita .
i look and look at this and wonder what you have done . either in camera or in editing .
the water giving such a luxurious feeling of balance .. and the painterly look .. sets this apart ..
congrats on 5th place .. :)

do you like 'luxurious feeling of balance' .. those words just slipped out almost without my control .. ;)

Autumn at Loon Island

this is like a scene out of a dream ..
loving that lone guy in the distance ..
also loving everything about this ..
it wouldnt take much for that home to become a memory i reckon ..
if the water rose anymore ..
lets hope it stays for any other photographers to shoot it .. its one in a million ..
congratulations on your blue ribbon for a memorable photo . :)

i love your title ..
if we all had those sentiments even when things dont appear to be going the way we want .. how wonderful this world would be .
anyway . CONGRATULATIONS on such a great place in the challenge and a stunning scene ..
i'd love to drive that road when it looked like that . altho i'd probably have an accident .. from looking everywhere else but the road lol .. :)

Abstraction

Comment:
this is SO good ..
first one i've opened . but it drew me in . in more ways than one .
its a fantastic image . and the almost optical illusion of it seemingly racing off into the distance i find very appealing ..
i'm not voting yet .. there are so many more to see ..
but just had to comment . :)

this made me smile when it opened .
that little girl in the middle .. her expression makes me feel that the little boy ahead did jump in front and is totally out of order . !! ..
or of course that she caught you taking her photo . . and that was out of order . there is probably more that could be out of order in this photo . but definitely not the finished product .
very cool black and white edit . .
makes me think of a Lev masterpiece ..
if i'm wrong its a huge compliment .. if i'm right .. i cant think of what to say after that . !! .. ;)

the old spigot
by Tiberius

Comment:
this is pretty cool .. loving the black and white edit you've done on this and how it really does tell a story .. the editing makes me feel its old and forgotten .. in some garden out of the way that hardly anyone ever visits .. especially like your dof .. and how the spigot is in focus and everything else not .
good one . in fact great one . !! .. :)
