Steel & Glass
by redmoon

Comment:
Good, crisp and nearly monochromatic metallics and glass against contrasty, cold-toned clouds makes a modernistic, cold impact.

bulldog

Comment:
I rarely comment but this I had to mention for its impact that just misses - and a solution that my eye ssys is so simple to put the "bull" back in the dog. It needs a crop from both sides to focus more on the dog and give it the monumentality that its pov and pose command. As is, there are too many similar trees that dilute the concept. An 8 for what could have been and a 6 for what is - avg 7.

Very painterly and expressive reduction of visual elements to their bare essences.

Run, cats, RUN!
by cgino

Comment:
Understated and effective capture. It has a "second take" effect - three trees sharply dominating the horizon while the cats provide a surprising second theme that comments on and ampiifies the primary theme. It tickles our heads in unexpected ways if we take the time to appreciate the effect.

Such an attractive and evocative portrait - a testiment to the smart use of the much maligned Lens Baby in the right hands.

Pismo Beach 1
by slickchik

Comment:
Very effective use of selective focus within a few feet of the camera to let the more distant surfer take on its elemental form in its environment. By blurring the details, the figure assumes a familiar, even monumental, posture on the beach and in our minds.

Nice work transforming the ordinary into expressive abstraction.

Comment:
The concentration of the boy on the ball should make a coach very happy. Good catch - so to speak.

A la party shot from a Minox. A cosmic fragment of spontaneity.
