First goes to
sinnerjohn's "Whatever" where the dog makes the image. But the dynamics here are unusual: Even though the dog is tremendously appealing, every time I focus on it my eyes move automatically to the bored and/or tired accordian player. Wonderful street shot, in any case.
Second goes to
Geek1956's "sculpture" for its dramatic perspective. And I hope you all notice that it's sharp from the tips of the in-your-face fingers to the hair on the head. Plus Dutch angle. I think a sculptor would like this shot.
Third goes to
rizole's "Obligatory cat" peeking out from its cardboard box. Yes, it's a cat, and we see quite a few here, but this one catches it being so very cat-like. And I love the way everthing except the cat is simple, rectangular, and nicely divided.
