2nd place
Without by LynEve

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

palral: Kia Ora, LE...

First of all I have a headache; so I'm not gonna even try to understand the narrative. You are obviously too smart for me.

I want to say, "Great colors in your posting" but that would be idiotic, even by my standards. Your image vaguely reminds me of an abstract work, even though it's not. But it's certainly not a landscape or a shot of a flower or even a portrait. If I cannot categorize and cubby hole an image, then I just freeze in panic. Right now I am completely immobile as the drool forms at the corners of my mouth and my eyes glaze over. My mind is screaming, "THINK!...THINK!", but nothing is coming to my mind. I'm an empty vessel, a shell completely void of thought. My god, have I become an American politician!!! I snap out of it and say, "Nice shot. Thanks for sharing" or something almost as infantile.

Logun7: Congratulations!!!

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.

Shattered by casechaser

0930_23: It looks like she would get a stiff neck Shads. I remember what one guy called Alexander Dumas in "The Shawshank Redemption."
I like the contrast. Good creation.
