A beautiful vortex. This effect can look cliche in the wrong hands, but it holds up nicely here.

Forcing spring upon fall, eh? You know, it's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

Beautiful.

Horrifying. Really. (And dig those fractal patterns over the house.)

I'm through 11% of my voting and this is the first image that really strikes a chord with me. The subtle colors and fleeting textures leave much to the imagination. A real treat for the eyes, the mind.

This just isn't coming together for me as a good street photograph. The ladies appear to be engaged in nothing more than idle gossip, which would be fine if they were more in focus. And the man is positioned as if to be creepy, but he just doesn't look that creepy. Also the quality suffers -- I see noise reduction artifacts in the Lady Right's jacket.

That said, I thank you for not showing me anyone's backside -- or someone merely walking by. In that sense, it's better than half of the street photography I see on the web. Not that I'm any expert. Far from it.

I like the idea, but it feels too much like you composed it more with the cropping tool and less with the camera. Definitely in the spirit of this challenge though.

Contrast feels a little flat, and I think you could have zoom-blurred a more interesting specimen. I like the sense of adventure that went into creating this though.

The combination of tomb, sky and clouds give this a strong foreboding quality. I feel that the crop is a little tight.

Having trouble connecting with this one. I do wish they were facing the camera at least.

Really bizarre. I've been unsure what to make of this. Humorous, borderline silly, not quite disgusting -- but nothing if not totally unexpected. Hell, who can fault you for it.
