1st place
Time In A Bottle by LynEve

Ramad: Great title and photo Lyn. The rose adds just the right touch. Good luck in the contest!

Roseman_Stan: Great entry indeed! Love what you did here.

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?

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

zunazet: Congrats on placing in the contest. Definitely got my vote.

purmusic: Really nice work, Hannah.


If I may.. composition.

In my humble opinion, think you could make some 'minor' (on the notes of your concept and overall presentation) changes.

Moon ... smaller.

Allowing for the Xaos fractal to provide stronger leading lines within frame, prodding your viewer's eyes to look into your piece.. deeper. As they are a nice touch.

Add some more depth, in short.

And in turn, knock down the moon's prominence (visual weight), too.


Will summarize my thoughts here.. in a popular phrasing..

'+favs for me.'


Best of luck in the contest with this very strong creative contender. :o)

5th place
