It's not even my banana.
7 people posted 28 pics this week. 3 people posted 78% of all the pictures. That means 4 people posted 22%. By far the biggest contributor was Coronation80 with 46% of the total.
I have to disqualify myself on the grounds of stupidity. I completely forgot I'm judging and can hardly award myself a win. I will, however award myself the top HM just for sheer dimmness.
There are 4 pictures that stand out for me from 3 people.
In third is Coronation80 for Going somewhere. As zenjenny noted, getting that one guy 3/4 turned smack bang in the middle is Fab. Makes the picture for me. Also for Tunnel Vision. A lovely palette of tones makes this both soft and hard at the same time.
In second is deepop with Denver Airport. Materful simplicity, minimal, such soft negative space punctuated with hard lines, curves and angles. Tugs at my heart strings.
Congratulations also on your thrusting pole.
My/our winner this week has to be sdimbour with The Eiffel Tower seller place du Trocadéro - Paris - France
The quality of your work sdimbour is always very high. I wish I could do what you can.
The composition and framing is excellent as always. The elements of the picture fit nicely and with the low point of view the Eiffel tower and it's reflection take up almost the same vertical space in the picture as the seller. The seller, tower and the three figures on the right and the reflections make a leading line that pulls the eye across the horizon and action.
The contrast between the bright, soft background sky and floor and the darker fore and mid ground figures really brings the picture to life. Add the writing on the floor at the front, the reflections on the wet ground, the timing and the fact this picture is telling a story. Very well done.
Hms to JillyG for that tunnel, Coronation80's nobbly trees and sinnerjohn' endings.
