Mad King of Hearts
by LevT

Comment:
i'm sorry Lev .. you dont look mad enough for your title .. lol .. ;)
you look like the kind compassionate and forgiving king ..
altho knowing that looks can be deceptive and taking in everything .. i'm now undecided . wondering what the spade is for .. could the king have nefarious and questionable purposes for it .. and then there's the bowl thing .. does it hold the ashes of some poor hapless soul you bested .. maybe you should have been the king of spades rather than the king of hearts .. or maybe clubs .. ;)
its a great entry in the challenge .. so creative ..
congrats on the ribbon .. :)

this is such a stunning portrait .. she's a beautiful girl .. of course being symmetrical doesn't do her any favours ..
really don't understand the placement of this unless they didn't realise you have flipped her .. :(
I was just looking thru the losers .lol.. and felt this needed a bit of love xx

Pi(e) in the Sky
by MargaretNet

Comment:

Originally posted by streetpigeon: Seemingly disparate elements, but they grew on me as I kept gazing. I like the cleanliness of the overall image. The statue of pi might be excessive, but that's just subjective. The knife, as it blurs into the sky, is like a bridge to the infinite, or something. And the little pie is that tantalizing decimal point trumpeting the wild continuation. Interesting, otherworldly take on the challenge.

thought this would get the blue or the red .. it really was a toss-up for me ..
but that was before i fully grasped Christophe's inspired message in his photo .. which i did after reading his notes ..
and then of course Mark's was awesome as well .. there were so many in the top 10 that were fantastic .. really brought out the creativity this challenge . .

i loved this so much in voting .. and look at that .. i was your only 10 .. !! ..
loving Rich's comment .. !! .. he said what i would have liked to but lacked the words .. :)

WONDERFUL ..
congratulations on such a great pic .. and the ribbon ..
i just noticed that where the hand is inside the pie dish there seems to be a bit of oof .. which actually adds to this image .. gives it sense of movement ..
btw .. looks even better bigger after rollover .. bit of a tongue twister there .. ;)

Circumference

AMAZING .. !! ..
so much of what you expressed in your photograph was lost to me until i read your notes ..
once again an image that has so much going on visually .. but also what the visual represents .. levels where you can go deeper if you so desire .. you have said before that you are no great shakes as a photographer .. but i suppose you are someone who expects a lot of themselves .. i think of you as a visionary .. who takes great photographs and then transforms them into your thoughts and feelings about our world .. not just thoughts and feelings ... but beliefs as well ..
congratulations on another unforgettable image and the story behind it .. and of course the blue .. :)
