Without by LynEve

cynlee: A wonderful graphic that gets its meaning just from the presentation.
Well done and good luck.

Ramad: You have a great imagination and you have shown it often in your posts Lyn. This is a very good manipulation and your explanation is truly touching.

3rd place
The unfortunate by Zethus

Con_: Floris... I don't care for the subject... in my mind, there is no way to make a picture, of a homeless person (sleeping in a cardboard box!), attractive (appealing). A subject of that nature can only have a negative impact on a photo in my opinion. Even the tell-tale buggy to the right hiding in the dark is a negative for me. But that's me! :o)

The title is appropriate. It was your request that got me to look at your image closely. Hopefully somebody who can separate the artistic skill from the effect of the image will deal with your request...

The fact that I can react like this to your image could be a positive for you... depending upon your intentions!

Oh... by the way, I think this could fit into a contest Caedes is having right now... for Emptiness. Enter it to have yet another kind of opinion expressed. Navigation... Contest - should get you to where you need to go! :o)

4th place
Shattered by casechaser

allisontaylor: An excellent interpretation of the subject. The contrasts of color, her sideways position and shattered visuals add so many elements to consider. I sense a pervading notion of lost as much as loss.

purmusic: Nice one, John.

Thumbnail caught my eye in and amongst the new images.. and here I be.

Interesting to me, in that in employing a warmer palette, which seemingly (and might) contradict the visual message of sorts ... that is, until one reads your accompanying narrative.


Her mouth (area) is a tad more prominent. Curious if by design, creative aim?

And the additional texturing is exquisite. The final image is very polished.


And but of course, thank you for sharing this thought provoking piece with us.


p.s. Any use of displacement maps?

Looks to be, and if not and for your creative future consideration.. here you go, in case unawares:

Loads of other tutorials out there as well, the above one is quite succinct and concise.
