Great b/w with a hint of mystery

Thank you John.

#17 zenjenny with “the maker’s dream”
Thought it was quite ethereal! Feels like there’s water washing off a painted window that will soon reveal what’s inside.

 

[younger]

#18 ImageArt with “canal walk”
There’s a cool reflection and a duck cutting through the still water. Stationary, dynamic, all of it.

#19 jpclicks with “My day so far”.
Again just a speckle of information and so much beyond that window. Very moody.

#20 @joana's No edit. Surreal, popart at it's bluest. One of the things I like is you're unlikely to get this shot as an adult because when are you ever that close to the ground when taking pictures of legs in blue tights?

It makes me smile every time someone posts one of my picks.

I'm going to have to throw this one in the ring. Fantastic colours, great subject. You definitely need to click on the image to appreciate this one.

#25 PerfectSurfOC with Winter Sunset at El Morro Beach
Beautiful sunset, beautifullly captured. Look at that light on the breaking wave.

#27 esotopia ’s Lady Tinka (age 16 )

Beautiful reminder of the power of pov. Also gorgeous environment and seriously cute dog).

#28 Mike in VT ’s Blind Beauty

​

Every picture tells a story.
lkbside Leslie’s MCC theme Creative Realism/Objects has me looking more closely at beautifully composed, simple subject images. That face; those claws And Mike’s brief backstory. Perfect.
(Reckon it would make a killer BW, too )

#29 Starzee

A fabulous blur - just enough ”reality” to make out the shapes, just enough blur to make them interesting.

#30 rizole Rizole

Rizole calls it Portal, and it absolutely does look like the door to another world (and maybe it is in Rizole’s house. The envelope on the floor just adds another quirky touch. And don’t get me started on the Dutch Angle!!

Three cheers for the HDR revival

I say hip-hip hooray! This image is perfect for HDR. Sooo many textures to shine!

Two Men

Made me laugh. Love the colors, slighty off kilter composition, and wry humor. (I tried the Aussie spelling, but my American auto correct wasn’t hearing of it. Sorry, Jen)

It ticks all the boxes - negative space, angles, rules of thirds, shadow and light.
