Beat the Heat

One of my favorite type of newspaper assignments is to capture "wild art", which is defined as "Stand-Alone, Feature Shot, Enterprise art are found moments that are intended to be realistic slices of everyday life" (definition taken from this glossary). These are typically images that caption themselves, not needing a lot of words to get their point across. For this challenge, I'm scoring images as whether I'd like to see them on the front page of a paper as feel good wild art. If I don't think they would make the paper, I'm then asking myself, "does it make me feel good?" If it doesn't do much for me, well then, oh well...

Nicely done! One of my top picks.

wow, a song almost as obscure as the relationship of your image to the challenge topic ;-)

love the image. i almost have enough of these to do a book. for me, though, they are nearly all accidents.

nice, but i would have preferred to see more of the face of one of those leaves - they look very interesting.

Qi - Silent Movement of Air

i get what you're after, but this image doesn't do it for me. the motion is a little too jarring, as opposed to gentle and peaceful.

nice. personally, i would have cloned out whatever's at the end of the path and cleaned up under the tree. minor distractions taking away from an otherwise lovely image.

a great image, ruined because you didn't pick the weeds. pardon my honesty, but seriously. all the potential in the world, but for minding those little details.

a beautiful image, to say the least, but not really grabbing me on the zen side. maybe without the bridge i'd find it more calming and peaceful. as is, i can still hear the cars speeding across...
