3rd place
The unfortunate by Zethus

Homtail: Wonderful capture. I love reportage photography. Challanging rather than artistic is all good with me however i think it does have a lot of artistic merit. The contrast of bright lights and dark pavement lead the eye straight to the main focus of the image which is what you want people to see. Think this is a very poiniant image that speaks for itself. Thankyou for sharing.

4th place
Shattered by casechaser

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.
