Thanks, guys, for another awesome round of Photographica. Some really, really incredible entries!
And, as an additional note, sincere apologies to @arcanum and @Leeroy, who were saddled with the consequences of my missing their entries in my inbox.
Really, really sorry, guys!
The winners, then!
By public vote:
3) Uh... me
This is mine, so I'm not going to wax lyrical But I just wish I'd noticed that chair-back in the foreground when I took this -_- Thank you guys
And by judge selection:
11) @arcanum
11) This picture captures the true spirit of childhood. I love that the subject is offset and his face is partially hidden.
#11 - such a cute kid! i love the contrast by the old man sitting there and the youth and playfulness displayed at the foreground. i enjoy the details in this too like the freckles on the kid's face and the birthmark.
This photo has a great quality to it. The depth of field is spot-on, and the contrast in subject between fore- and background sets this apart from the other entries thematically. Plus, the subject's expression is candid and evocative of childhood.
We both earn the Photographica award, and the opportunity to submit judgements on next month's Judges' selection
Speaking of which:
Tadaa!
I hope everyone and more enters for next month, the theme for which will be Contrast.
