 Maybe a cinematic mood piece. Maybe an album cover. Or maybe just a cliche. Honestly not sure. But it seemed to meet the brief for this challenge.


*** AFTER ROLLOVER ***

Whoa. Two blues in a row. I'm truly humbled by that, everyone. Especially since both wins were casual snapshots in "found" moments.

I'm stoked that this one connected with others, but I'd also like to humbly acknowledge that, while I didn't exactly go LOOKING for this perspective in the moment, I do think I was conditioned to see it and imagine its presentation by similar work I've studied here on the site over the past year. So while I'd like to think I've made this my own, I absolutely owe a debt of gratitude to my peers here for helping me to see the world in more imaginative ways. My heartfelt thanks to all of you!

Congrats Jonathan!
You're really on a roll – and rightly so!

Another beautiful photo – not only perfectly suited to the challenge theme, but also a real eye-catcher in its own right. Stylish and perfectly composed. I love the colors and the framing.

You and markwiley are collecting ribbons like Thanos collects stones, lol. Congratulations! You should SERIOUSLY contact Samsung. At this point, you could be their brand ambassador. Well-deserved!

"Found moments" are the impetus behind photography for me. It's what gives me joy! Keep doing that.

Congratulations, this is a really amazing shot, maybe in the image, maybe in the edit either way it is terrific. I gave you a nine should be a 10. I love this one.
