Beautiful like a painting. A little too conventional for the craziness of this challenge, but I can't hold a good photograph against you.

I don't care for the vignette/border, but everything inside the frame is terrific -- composition and color work off of each other to good effect.

The flower and her abstract
by hajeka

Comment:
This is interesting in that it incorporates many different reflections, distortions and abstractions. Good idea.

A long night

Comment:
I appreciate the simplicity of interiors, and this is a good example -- nicely balanced and pleasing to the spirit. The shadows and light play off of each other and the rich reds hold it all together. The title, unfortunately, tends to bias the viewer and was probably unnecessary.

Well, there's that. And the Ohio River makes an awful seascape.

Got a seven from me. Excellent.

Fisherman

Comment:
Beautifully composed and good use of selective focus. I like the subdued golden lighting and the feeling that I too am in flight.

I love the choreography, the costumes -- the music especially.

My guess is that this is cutout sans camera. Impressive as usual. In a category all its own. Nine.

Happiness
by JuliBoc

Comment:
This feels right on so many levels. Your subjects, reduced to outlines, stand firm against the frenzy of nature surrounding them. The title is a little too suggestive. There's a sense of unity and bonding -- maybe happiness, but probably something more enduring. The picture reminds me of some of Harry Callahan's work. This will be high on my list.
