This image makes me want to stare at it until things come into focus. I think it helps if I cross my eyes and squint a little. The essence of a moment in time.

Oh, now I'll be thinking of Jefferson Starship's "White Bird" all day. :)

This has my imagination aching. An astounding display of texture and shadow -- to say the very least.

It's not about photography at all. Vision like this cannot be taught, nor learned, purchased, faked or explained. Thank you.

There's just something so striking about this one -- I loved it during the challenge, and it still makes quite an impression.

It definitely needs a bluebird. :D

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I like the ambiguity here - it could be a vertical surface with graffiti or a horizontal surface with shadows (perhaps barbed wire loops). I like the texture and toning too. Best of all I like the subtle differences in the three surface zones.

Critical stuff: I like these textual pieces but I think they have an implicit cap on the amount of interest they hold for viewers.

Overall: Nice enough but probably lacking enough story to be truly interesting.

This should have scored higher - one of my top picks for a ribbon!
