Zethus: Dear Con,

Thank you for your comment. I realize now that I should have clarified my intentions with this picture. It was never my meaning to make this an appealing picture, but rather a picture that gives you food for thought, which apparently works. My intention was to depict the ugly behind the beautiful: the Plaza Mayor is a very busy and beautiful place, but there are also many homeless people who sleep and live there and who we generally don't want to be confronted with, especially when we're on holiday.

I've actually got another picture of the same scene - which I plan to upload later - that shows people dining on the Plaza, while this guy is sleeping in his box behind the pillar. Stuff to think about, but not necessarily nice to put on your desktop.

4th place
Shattered by casechaser

coram9: A truly stunning and creative piece or work. Sad and forlorn, almost desolate. When I suggested emptiness as a topic, I wanted people to try and express the emotion rather than just show pictures, to go beyond the image and generate that feeling of emptiness one gets with a deep loss. This image does just that. It epitomises the goal of the contest in a beautiful way.

5th place
Desolated Beach 2 by corngrowth

allisontaylor: I like it very much. Definite lonely and empty feelings emerge. The only thing opposing the mood is the beautiful blue skies. I like the space you left in your composition.

Dunstickin: A simple scene well taken....I love to see these posts...now show me on lined up leading to the ocean!...
