1st place
Time In A Bottle by LynEve

purmusic: Really nice, Lyn.

Caveats?

Undecided, really.. as to whether the crop is a tad tight.

And it has not gone unnoticed by me, that you were working with the physical constraints/size of the wood top. Just can't quite shake the thought of a bit more breathing room to the right of the rose might be an improvement.

That said..


Good good control and handle on the technical considerations. Lighting is nice, too.


p.s. Then, it hits me.. the size of the sides of your border/framing.

See if the following joke reference makes sense..

As an added punishment for prisoners.. jail house authorities are considering placing the bars on the prison inmate uniforms.. horizontal.

('Cause.. then the prisoners would go around thinking that they are 'fat'. :oP)


To my eyes, and mind.. with the border width/size at the sides as presented.. kind of, sort of ... fights with the vertical lines of the bottle and the hanging watches.

Downloaded and cropped on the above thought(s) ... looks better?

2nd place
Time Passing by coram9

purmusic: Add me to the list that enjoy your image here.

And..

Been trying to figure out whether or not you did some stuff in post processing, or.. shot this one through something?

(There are elements in/of the bokeh that add to this mystery of sorts, to my eyes and mind.)

I don't think, and I could be wrong.. that simply dialing in the DOF is the visual result of what we are seeing within frame.


Like Bethany above, a part of me does wish to see more of.. as in, a wider/deeper DOF.

On the note of sharpening, and in my humble opinion ... clarity and focus, as is ... and presented, with respect to the areas in focus ... are fine.

Exposure is good good. Composition as well.


Very nice shot and one that would keep me looking at it for some.. ahem ... time. There's lots to like and take in, despite it's simplicity.

3rd place
A Month in the Life of the Moon by Akeraios

Samatar: This reminded me of the work first of Vladstudio, then of NMSmith... enough said, I think. Very nice.

twinkel: For me...a winner for sure, really nice work!!

You really thought about it of what the moon means to the world, like the time between high and low water!

+favs for me.
