2nd place
Waiting, Watching, Wishing by Jynxxd

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)

4th place
The Fog is Lifting by palral

twinkel: Mysterious atmosphere and colors! A well balanced composition in my eyes of course...

favs for me.

:o)

trixxie17: I hate to disagree with Wendell but you need that much sky to offset the lighter areas - the darker sky at the top serves that purpose. This is a very well done moody shot and I like the little bridge in the background.

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.

marcaribe: Such a creative work of art Tootles It reminds me of a Christmas tree with unique hanging ornaments and strung with chains of gold...best of luck in the contest with this beauty!
