What a great distillation of the essence of how a chicken moves, plus the title evokes vivid memories of dance music. Nice clors and interesting background too.

Rainbow Abstract

Comment:
Pure rainbow with no distraction -- a beautiful abstract and exactly on target for the challende. I'm pleased to learn that this is a real rainbow, even if from a garden hose. That makes me feel even better about the high score I gave it. Sorry to see the ranking, which is much lower than I expected, even given DPC's reputation for undervaluing abstracts and less than crysal sharp images.

Orb Weaver (Il Ragno)

First impression: cosmic spider. The soft b&w conversion turns the background into clouds and the web into a structure emerging from the moon and descending through the sky. Macro lenses really do open up an entirely different and wonderful universe.

the display has a 1950's feel with this treatment, at least until I otice the newer cars. Nicely done.

Interesting desaturation. The weed in front of his shirtsleeve detracts.

Beautiful colors, almost abstract (I like abstract) so the shape of a glass jar only gradually oozes into awareness. Excellent image.

I would not be surprised to find this in a gallery or museum. Love the simplicity, colors, reflections, and mood.

Playful, colorful, engergetic, and crative. Not a copy of an imprssionist work, but in the spirit of the movement. I like it a lot.

Wonderful simplicity and study on the play of light in an everyday setting. One of my top ten for the challenge.
