2nd place
Without by LynEve

casechaser: I especially like "Without" in black and white (and gray). You set a tone and spiritual meaning with it.

The loved one is first seen in black and then in gray, as if he is leaving his earthly body as is in movement towards the light.

Possibly July 31st is an anniversary date and one which will always be the memory for the reality of this day. If so, love the memories, allow them to play over and over again. The companionship, once enjoyed in reality, will continue to be shared in the fond memories of your mind.

Bless you Lyn. ~~ John

The unfortunate by Zethus

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.

4th place
Shattered by casechaser

luckyshot: John - With your creativity, your work emotes the contest theme. Congratulations. Thad

Roseman_Stan: I like what you are doing with these John. Truly art. As Jim stated, "Excellent"!!

allisontaylor: An excellent interpretation of the subject. The contrasts of color, her sideways position and shattered visuals add so many elements to consider. I sense a pervading notion of lost as much as loss.

5th place
Desolated Beach 2 by corngrowth

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

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.
