Without by LynEve

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

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.

The unfortunate by Zethus

FlimBB: Congratulations. An excellent work indeed.

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

solita17: I like what Les pointed out, that is, the very warm palette in juxtaposition with subject matter and title. As my husband says, "We've already gone crazy." So I've been there a time or two, making this very subjective for me. Absolutely a work of art.

Desolated Beach 2 by corngrowth

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.

Homtail: Gorgeous panoramic view! :D

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.
