2nd place
Without by LynEve

allisontaylor: Your narrative fits the image so well. Very apt that the space of waiting is so large... : ) Very artistic and original.

Roseman_Stan: "Within grief the mind and body are full, overflowing with pain and hurt.
Without is the blank space left when something loved is lost, or a dream ended.
Through the hurt nothing can be seen but the void, the emptiness, and we must wait for the light of acceptance."

So very true Lyn. Excellent work. My prayers walk with you Lyn and thus so does my spirit..... Excellent image. Faved.

3rd place
The unfortunate by Zethus

Eubeen: A good perspective and angle for your photo. Nice use of colour, light and shadow to emphasis the subject matter. Best of luck in the contest.

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.
