Tengger Desert by krt

BarnArt: I like this, and thank heaven, a photo not ruined by HDR like so many others around here! ;)

2nd place
Without by LynEve

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

Flmngseabass: Bravo Lynn. A very imaginative piece you have here.Simple but deep. A contemplative creation for sure:):) Very effective with these dark tones:)

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.

coram9: I think this image works so well because of the perspective. You are not a passer by, somehow superior to the homeless man, but you have become one of the homeless, on the cold ground looking out of a box. You make the viewer part of that situation and unable to just walk on by. Well done.

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

Jimbobedsel: Great job lining up those things for the shot. Do you have someone to help you take them back down? LOL. Excellent shot again, Mr. C. Good luck in the contest.

TheWhisperer: This is really pleasing to the eye and love the sheer simplicity of this capture. Fav'd and thank you for sharing!
