1st place
Mind Infinity by SEFA

Tootles: I love Bryce pictures, so I'm glad you posted this! I like the way the tree casts a shadow across the floor, with the sun right behind it. The globes might look more random and 'natural' if they didn't follow such a straight line, but I like the little oval windows... I wonder who is inside?

Good luck in the contest!

2nd place
Waiting, Watching, Wishing by Jynxxd

Logun7: Congratulations!!!

0930_23: Congrats on winning 2nd place in the contest.

tndr: Favorited! I love it!

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..

The Fog is Lifting by palral

rvdb: An amazing picture Roger very nice Congrats

Rob

Starry173: You do have a way with fog. Loved this one. Thanks for sharing it.

Mythmaker: A very mellow image. It seems a bit posterized or splotchy (To use a deeply technical term.) on my screen, but I often get strange artefacts on my screen that no-one else ever comments on. shrug.

5th place
Introspective by Tootles

Nikoneer68: Beautiful work.

rvdb: Different so nice Congrats on your win.

Rob

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

purmusic: (*checks face in mirror*)

Lil' red..


Thought I had commented on your piece here, as I distinctly remember when you posted it (simply put, and as I am want to say at times.. 'a standout, in and amongst the new images').

And would echo the thoughts and words above me.


Aside from the technical considerations, your image is more about evocation for me.

Strange as this may sound, or not.. get the feeling of comfort and that of being safe as a child, somewhat caught up in the fantasy world of your creation here.

Lots of things to see and investigate, all friendly creatures and a most welcoming and intriguing environment to explore.

Colour palette is great throughout. Good good composition.


Nice to see that you were rewarded in the contest for your creative efforts. Most deserving entry. :o)
