Without by LynEve

rvdb: Lyn congratulations with your win in the contest well deserved.

Rob

0930_23: Congrats on your 2nd place finish in the contest LE. You do so good in them.

Nikoneer: This must have been in response to the February 2011 earthquake that killed 185 and injured thousands. A fitting description of the psyche of the survivors of loved ones and a proper memorial.

3rd place
The unfortunate by Zethus

Logun7: Congratulations!!!

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

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:

Photoshop Tutorial: Displacement Maps

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

5th place
Desolated Beach 2 by corngrowth

vangoughs: A Great entry and so well Taken!!!

0930_23: Congrats on your 5th place finish in the contest Sea. It was a good entry that could have finished even higher.

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.
