2nd place
Waiting, Watching, Wishing by Jynxxd

Logun7: Congratulations!!!

tigger3: Excellent manipulation, very creative and so well done. =^..^=tigs

purmusic: Thanks for the visual cue to take the tour of your galleries. Saw your name before and some of your images/uploads. You have a varied and great gallery, well worth the tour. :o)

Back to your image here..


A good good manipulation. Caught my eye in and amongst the new images and here's I be.

Strong composition.

Great use of colour and the posturing portrayed is excellent. Well suited on the notes of composition and concept. And as mentioned above, well done on the lighting aspect.


Caveats?

Small niggle, at best.

The wall of stone on the right-hand side's textures. Perhaps that of change in Blending mode and/or reduced Contrast might provide the lil' assist to compliment it's adjacent left-hand side.

That nonsense of mine aside..


Wonderful work.

Annnd..


Thanks for sharing this one with us. It is a very nice piece and well thought out.

Best of luck to you in the contest. :o)

Looks amazing!

4th place
The Fog is Lifting by palral

Eubeen: All comments say something; it's whether or not you're listening that matters. Or sometimes it's not what's being said that is just as important as what you're being told.
I'm sure someone out there, maybe it's me, maybe someone anonymous, feels you could have cropped the photo. Take the sky down to the top of the cloud layer and add some more to the water in the foreground. I like my shorelines distant, unless I'm in a sinking boat, then they can't be close enough.
A nice moody shot as noted above. I like the lighting in the scene and the silhouettes of the trees. Good work.

5th place
Introspective by Tootles

mesmerized: What a beautiful piece of artwork...so well done and love its' colors and combination of whimsy and symbolism...great example of surrealism...this one should do well...best of luck.

tbob: a dropshadow on the chain would have really made this thing pop
