Terrific write-up, Lynn. You seem to have the knack. It's so interesting to see those images through your eyes.Good Morning fellow Mobitoggers,
I have to say that even though it can be pretty hard to single out one photo/photographer to be the winner, I found that I really enjoyed the process of looking deeply at each of the images.
I am very pleased to nominate deepop David as the winner of this challenge for his photo “Cleveland Museum of Art: Enlight”. Even from my extensively non-photographic background, I thought this photo was extraordinary. My eyes were drawn to the complex myriad of lines, angles, curves and light; but I also found that the balanced way these elements blended into a ‘wholeness’ allowed for my eyes to rest on individual features.

Second place I awarded to lkbside Leslie for Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu, N.M. My experience of this image was of being drawn close to feel that I was included in the scene, and of stepping back to experience the grandeur of structure and the intensity of that sky. Absolutely stunning.

For third place I chose rizole for his photo “Under the Bridge”. I was struck by the way he has created a balanced image, with a palpable sense of calm, from the numerous and diverse textures and shapes. I found this very pleasing to the eye and to the mind.
