This is brilliant abstract work for my taste. Another I think was underrated this challenge. The casual technical mastery here is profound, and the composition makes me think of something I'd see in an accent print adorning a high-end luxury hotel or restaurant.

This is very thoughtfully composed and exudes a kind of reverence for the subject that I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing the story!

This Kris Kringle cleans up nicely. :-) I bet the kids adore him.

Thanks :) I knew going in that this isn't a challenge friendly photo but I wanted to drop one in anyway.. I am finding that the free study challenges here aren't taken seriously by the participants. It seems like they are used as a place for leftovers from other challenges and that's a shame. The free study is a place to voice your own thoughts on photography. I'm not looking to win challenges at this point. I am just gonna hang out here a while and see if it's possible to pull some real photography conversation out of the woodwork to see if there are any hardcore enthusiasts left in the crowd....
