Uh oh, gonna buck the trend.
I feel that your entry is the "best" of the three. It's graphically exciting, dynamic, sharp, mysterious, and colorful. All of the former so much so that the vast darkness could be seen as framing, held in abeyance by the striking core of the image. Actually, when I first saw this photo my heart skipped a beat. It's my second favorite of the challenge; gave it a 9.
Next is the black and white of the woman crossing the street. It, too, is dynamic, the slow shutter animating the scene. Its visual intricacy, somewhat abstracted by the blur, invites exploration. The time of day and the weather are almost tangible. She seems to be causing the asphalt in the foreground to swirl, a strange, magical effect. I would also give this a 9, though both at 10 is also quite legitimate.
Thirdly, swept grass and walking person, who seems to be a woman. It's also a fine image, just not as captivating, in my opinion, as the other two. I would have given it a 6 or 7.
A terrific collection and a difficult choice. How's that for a problem. |
