Mediating Awe

An interesting image that contributes to the open challenge.

Mediating or meditating? One texture of pocketbook? I like the mono presentation it works well. I think as far as composition is concerned I would have waited a fraction later when the men would not have the stalks of the foreground plants dissecting them. The expression of awe applies more to the front man rather than second as we cannot see his eyes. The ladies very colourful handbag is quite a dominant feature but we see nothing of her. When I first looked at this I though they were carrying the wooden structure in the background. The bright highlight on his arm is the one flaw in terms of overall exposure and tones it is really quite appealing in this respect.

Thank you for your submission, Sid

An interesting image that vaguely meets the challenge.

I like the motion blur of the leaves but I think the challenge itself required more than simply inverting an image, this does not live up to the creative aspect of the challenge. I do like the autumnal colours they are very appealing. There's not really a lot I can say other than that.

Thanks for your submission, Sid

An excellent image assumed to meet the challenge.

I'm glad this didn't remain hidden! A great action shot, nice viewpoint and nice hint of motion and lovely muted tones throughout, definitely one of your best to date. It's a shame you have had to crop a little off the wing but its not major but the rest of the composition is working really well. There is nice sharpness on the back of the pigeon, it would have been nice to have the same sharpness on the head but again its only marginally soft and perfectly acceptable.

A great image that ought to have fared better than it did, can't say I understand the title though, if its crucial to the image' appreciation then this might explain why it didn't do better, Sid.
