I do like this version. To me the chaos of the scene is freakishly clear. Without that top bit, those wheels, so many wheels, how are they not crashed in a pile? But they aren't, they're being ridden. I now see a comforting (to my brain) pattern of whites near the top and bottom sandwiching nicely a pretty blue.

How sweet, saw this thumbnail and was compelled to comment. Love the geometric pattern of three topped off with a wacky shaped bird. Great as a silhouette.

I never would have guessed these were trees. There is a beautiful painting like quality to this image, but the bottoms of the white lines - there was something about them I just didn't love. (Some of the really thin lines just felt a bit harsh I guess might be the best word to explain what I'm feeling, just not as smooth as the rest of the image - and my brain really struggles with uneveness.) But pretty image overall to me.

Turbulent Flow

I suppose I'm not a huge fan of motion blur since my brain really likes order, and I struggled with the mix of heavy versus light lines and the opposition of blurred and nearly in focus. The main part of this image that really didn't connect with me was the blur of the whites of the shirts, it was just too big a white blur and then at the next second below were bike tires almost in focus. Was just a bit to uneven for me I think.

I thought this shot was wonderfully funny, and the t-shirt helped match up to the title for me. The lighting was a bit flatter than those that I scored most highly in this challenge, but it was a 6 from me. But great model, very dramatic young lady. I admit I was a bit saddened to learn this wasn't just a random youngster off the street flipping off a photographer.

I loved the diagonals and the green and white theme. This was my favorite of the challenge. 10.
