MobiColour RESULT: MC #48 DIPTYCH - Dec 26, 2016-Jan 1, 2017

HAPPY NEW YEAR MobiPeeps!! :D This was certainly a fun and creative week. :notworthy:

zenjenny has the arduous task of choosing the winner(s), but since today is the first day of 2017 and I'm sure lots of stuff is going on for all of us as we enter 2017, she should take her time choosing - no rush at all - and I'll close this thread to further entries so as not to make her task even harder. :barf:

Enjoy your New Years Day, my friends!! Cheers!! :inlove:
 
I sortof wish we'd had two weeks for this challenge - over the silly season, everyone's busy and diptychs can take longer to think through and create. But the show must go on. With a shortlist of 20+, I needed a filter -so I've gone thematic.

First, Kmenglee Kuan Meng's fabulous "Long shadows and sunrise" - classic gorgeous, light shadows hue subject composition - simply a beautifully thought through and made diptych. And Kuan Meng, we would all like to know what you were doing standing on a street corner at sunrise? :mobibabe:

Second, I can't go past rizole's clever panopticon image with the panopticon visible to itself at a distance through one of its windows. Or something. :confused: You can *shudder* at Foucault, rizole, but he'd be giving you the big thumbs up for this image, which makes more simply one of his more complex points about self-surveillance in the middle of 'Discipline & Punish'.

Third, Starzee Star gave us the "nutty" diptych, complete with quirky frame, of 'Car show mascots'. Another example of the visual artist/photographer eye that can find art (and/or the weekly theme) anywhere and everywhere :thumbs: :notworthy: :)

HMs to JillyG's clever apple image, terse' whimsical tree ornaments, RoseCat's moving through a glass darkly type image, deepop's haunting ghost bike, GroovyGouvy's neverending Travelogue With Sheep, ImageArt's just another day in paradise, sinnerjohn's inside/outside comparison, rizole's domestychs and FundyBrian's meticulous work with the fractal gif.

Finally, MotownLarry, nice try, cornflake - but if addled brains ruled out contributing fantastic images, MobiTog would be a very sparse gallery :)

Thanks, all, for making the time to contribute ! And now, Kmenglee -- theme or no theme ? :D

Yay, congratulations Kuan Meng - an outstanding image. And well done to Rizole and Star - two very clever and very different images. Thumbs up to all the HMs. This was a thought-provoking and interesting challenge. What's next?

Sorry I'm late... stayed the night at a friend's and have been sans device for the most part.

Yes - and/or we could pay respect to Chinese New Year -find out a bit about the year of the Red Fire Rooster (I'm a fire rooster :) I wonder if that means a fortuitous year for me :D

And this is a cool idea too.... :confused:

How about people have the choice to either post an interpretation of the Red Fire Rooster, or no theme?
 
I'm a fire pig, er, boar.

Congrats to Kmenglee -- I especially liked the diagonal balance of the bright sunrise yellows. And thank you, Jen, for the mention in the middle of so many great photos.
