2014 - Image of the Week #24

[Kayaker72]

Great entries everyone. Selections were not easy.

Landscape:

Winner: Zach "Leaf Me Be". The image captivates me. The detail in the leaf, the variation in the light and the overall colors are excellent. As was mentioned last week, I often use the criteria of "would I put it on my wall" to judge photos. Using that criteria, Sean's "Oak Island Pier in IR" would win. But "Leaf Me Be" reminds me of a billboard I saw when traveling recently.

Honorable Mention(s):

Sean "Oak Island Pier in IR". It made it to "Explore," it is an amazing shot.
ddt0725 "The Letter." Should be the cover of a Hallmark card.


Portrait:

Winner: jerrytech "Piano Man." Great capture of the scene. It feels like a moment. The post processing allows the image to both feel old and current.

Honorable Mention: Jayson "The Pretty One". Great capture with amazing detail.



I am glad someone else is judging next week.....

I have to chuckle when I look at "Piano Man" because as much as I love the shot and appreciate you acknowledging it...I can't help but notice how many people are staring at their mobile devices.

...hence.... "feel old and current...."
