I very rarely go back and bump up a shot in a challenge. I did with this one because it is such a strong image (even though I thought that it was a little tenuous at meeting the challenge) that it deserved recognition!

Congratulations on your yellow with this touching study counter balancing the same theme under different representations.

This is what separates a photo from a photograph in my opinion. We were asked to do our best in representing ‘broken’ and I have seen so may photos of everyday objects broken but with no emotion or story behind it. I believe a photograph should have a story and emotion behind it or its just a snap shot or photograph that one is trying to appeal to the mass with good technique. I feel you have met the challenge with emotion and a story and at the same time being technically great. I hope others can learn along with myself that something needs to be behind the photograph we submit. Great Job and a well deserved 10.

More like broken palace and broken spirit. One of those true life captures that deliver a deep message regarding mortality and the passing of time along with all joys and broken dreams. The semi prostate figures on the lower left give this image not only a spatial sense but also a peek into the abyss of the soul. Bumping up.
