McClintock's Lost Shrine
by Pedxer

Comment:
A simple wooden cross near a wrecked car implies a sad tale of loss and sorrow. The table and metal stool complicate the picture, making me want to hear more about the real story.

small town

Comment:
OK, a little town hidden downstairs with the model railroad set up. Wish the depth of field was greater so less of the detail would be lost in blur.

New York Fire Escape

Comment:
Interesting ghost-like effect of a semi-transparent smoker who perhaps has to hide to light up (and who hastens his journey toward death by doing so). I hope you reveal how you accomplished this.

Doorway to Heaven
by Judi

Comment:
Sorry, but the first thought I have is to wonder how long it will take for someone to put text into that opening in the sky and turn it into a cartoon-like thought-baloon. This is a stretch for me to connect with the challenge description, but I guess it could fit if you envision heaven as a hidden city of gold up there somewhere.

Off-Path Dining

Comment:
Definitely hidden, with a deep blue sky (whether from using a filter on camera or adjusting in post processing), and a relaxing looking place - although one that looks far away from any city.

Merry Christmas - Union Station, Washington, DC

Comment:
I enjoy the geometric composition with the curved stairs and arched ceiling setting off the darker lines of walkways, handrails, and escalators. Those casual eating areas are not featured in magazines, but make up the hidden heart of a city.

Comment:
The jumble of traffic and pedestrians contribute to hiding the Royal Society building. They help this meet the challenge, but I have a feeling of irritation at not being able to have an unobstructed view up the narrow opening -- perhaps the point you are making.

The Gateway

Comment:
I like the range of colors as well as the combination of shapes. Looks like the street slopes down to the left, which gives an intersting semi-off-balance efect to the image. Nice find.

Gandhi: An Homage to Peace in the Heart of London

Comment:
Quiet city parks often serve as hiding places for sculpture. I wish we could see more of the Gandhi figure.

Hidden
by photography123

Comment:
The isolated building on a narrow sunlit ridge feels all the more hidden because of the multiple layers of shades of blue extending out as far as the eye can see. I imagne the lack of obvious connection to "city" will make many vote on the lower side of the scale.
