A wonderful week of color shots -- congratulations to all. This week's win/place/show:
First:
ImageArt "bridal exit" The beautifully photographed building is interesting enough by itself, with its elaborate gold grill work and vividly colored decoration, including images of... Brooklyn? The bride in sneakers walking through the scene turns a photo into a story and makes it extra special. (And I agree with
sinnerjohn that catching the bride just as she's about to exit the frame adds a lot.)
Second:
deepop "Chiaroscuro" The shadows leave a simple but irregular patch of light that turns a straightforward shot into something abstract and mysterious, hiding things in a way that makes you look more closely at what you can see.
Third:
MsDee "Sunrise from Myrtle Beach" The intense color, the low angle, and the rippled foreground make this a lot more than just another sunrise shot, but the highlights are the two small silhouettes flanking the rising sun like a human Stonehenge.
And now it's up to
ImageArt Ann to choose a theme (or not) for the upcoming week and then judge the results.
[thinking].
