This is intense. As my attentions were elsewhere during this challenge, I missed the opportunity to revisit it, get lost in it.

Step away and you'll miss the light show. Beautiful.

sunset and other fiascos

Comment:
The dark golden hues and large sweeping brushstrokes suggest a sunset. And sunsets are beautiful. Or are they? This one is left up to the viewer. Is this a warm beach, illuminated by the last rays of the setting sun? Or do we have the sun penetrating a charred post-apocalyptic wasteland? It depends on one's mood, I suppose. This would make a remarkable painting, but it's (presumably) not a painting at all. So what an eye and what an imagination the photographer who found and extracted this must have. And while I don't usually put a lot of stock into titles, this one intrigued me.

The fantastic beauty of this will be lost on most viewers. Their loss means that I don't have to share it. One of my top picks. Such poetry.

Lily

Comment:
I love flowers in monochrome -- stripped of their color, we're forced to focus on their (often) grotesque figures and forms. And so much the better when that means the flower takes on a new identity altogether. This lily has thorns!

There's a terrific metaphor here, that I haven't yet found, but I feel the revelation will be worth the effort.

Insects on the moon? I like the electric blues.

The shadowy lamppost bows to the empty window. Not only nice in black and white, but necessary.
