#44 - Sticks (Congrats Jonathan Huyer)

[Sheiky]

On behalf of Erno James, this is assignment 44: Sticks

I know, a bit different. The subject of this assignment is quite broad and there really are no restrictions, so we'll leave it up to the clever minds of those here on The-Digital-Picture to conjure up their own interpretations of STICKS. Some ideas to get us jumpstarted include:

• fences
• branches
• drumsticks
• chopsticks
• sticks and stones
• out in the sticks
• sticky situations

• ....whatever you feel fit.

Well, I have to say all entries were worthy of making the Top 5, so thanks for all who submitted entries to the STICKS assignment. In random order are the chosen finalists:

Name: ddt0725
Motivation: A great take on STICKS, really pushing the creativity button on this assignment. Lovely color whirl.





Name: conropl
Motivation: Leading lines, pastels, and a silky smooth long exposure Lake Michigan all make for a great shot.





Name: Dr Croubie
Motication: A great interpretation of STICKS. Nice lighting and what a subject.





Name: Jonathan Huyer
Motivation: This is fine art. Lovely shallow depth of field, great low angle natural light, and the sprinkles of snow in the right foreground are all the icing on the cake. The majestic owl is placed perfectly, and he seems to peer directly into the soul of the viewer.





Name: Steph
Motivation: Nice action, mood, and the perfect shutter speed. This image tells a story.




Best of luck to all and thanks again partaking in the assignment. Regards, Erno James
