Daring yet so subtle.

Shadows in the Stairwell

Very surreal geometry. Looked like an eye at first glance. I like the deep hues and grain. A worthwhile experiment.

I see an elephant. This is really interesting, a treat for the eyes.

Love the raw intensity here. Feels like a TV still or something up close and candid in an angry crowd (trading floor comes to mind for no good reason). The blur is not only acceptable, it's necessary.

Still life on a grander scale than usual. Beautifully done.

Noir and painterly. Or maybe it's charcoal. Wonderful energy in this.

Yes! Grounded yet in flight. A beautiful contradiction.

Orange Crush

Such intensity. The branches give this context, but only make the background more mysterious. Feels very apocalyptic. Good work.

I fear that the magic of this image will be lost on most viewers. But maybe that's what makes it so right for this challenge. The shadowy bird on the left contrasts sharply with the two crooners and one mourner on the right. The bird in profile in the middle (sorry -- are these swans?) more or less anchors the image. A nicely balanced composition, interesting to look at.
