Normally, I'm just in awe of your submissions. This time I'm basically speechless.

WOW.

Whilst I can understand how can you can get the subjects, the props, the poses and so on, I am ever so impressed by the way you also captured the whole "feel" and atmosphere of the original.

Crafting Time- Handmade Horse Head Wreath

Oh my..... that wreath is lovely!!!! I know a couple of horse crazy people who would ADORE this. Well done, Julie!

It reminds me of the good old days when I was into crafts, too, and one the things I made were these lovely Christmas decorations - stars made from straw.

Concrete Conducter

That is a gorgeous photo, absolutely stunning. And yet, if you showed it to 100 people and asked each one to give you FIVE keywords describing it, I believe you wouldn't get a single "concrete" amongst those 500 words.

Still an awesome image, though :-) Will have to carefully think about the score for a bit first.

I really enjoyed this image, but I docked you two points for not submitting a macro photo (even at best, this is only a "close up").

You still ended up with an 8 from me, though - pat on the back that you kept on trying until you were happy with the result.

There is SO much about this image that I don't like - the lean, the lack of focus, the blown highlights, the too-dark shadows, the very odd composition, etc etc etc.

And yet, for this challenge, it all came together as a success: it creeps me out!!!!

It is unsettling and even scary - for a Halloween challenge, this is great!

I am liking the colours, the composition, and the crisp, clear silhouettes.

Was that a lucky find, or did you set it up somehow? Not sure what it might be an "aftermath" OF, but I believe it :-)

Aftermath of a overstressing workingday - the whole office is burning...

Comment:
The office is "burning".... I am trying very hard to not say "shoehorn", but I can't really come up with any other explanation.

Very pretty colour combination, though.... Satan must be in there somewhere, I'm sure :-)

Aftermath

I nearly always detest crazy angles, but since this might possibly suggest the aftermath of a storm, perhaps it is suitable.
However, I certainly don't like the bad quality of the image.... I do believe that even most camera phones can do better than that these days, plus there are ways of dealing with digital noise.

If you MEANT for all that grain/noise etc to be there, then I'm sorry.... it just doesn't do it for me.

I don't understand the connection with "aftermath" when I look at a little kid playing with some coloured lights.

Aftermath (Approaching)
by ilyap30

Comment:
I see a sunset, but with no feeling of "aftermath".

I don't care for the "dust bunny" up the top and I am rarely a fan of a VERY centered composition (both horizon and subject). The foreground holds limited interest, although it is pretty the way the sun is putting a glow on the very tips of some plants.
