Weekly Competition #107 - Dream Competition

Thank you very much for entering the competition. I apologize for the delay but I was extremely busy last few days. The topic of the competition was open so it was very difficult to judge.



chelseablue - nice car in the background Straightforward and simple approach to the topic

MarjutL – my eyes feel lost in this frame. Nice colors but there is not point of interest in the frame.

JudithAnn – very nice color, I like atmosphere of this shot

Bluejohn – for my taste the frame is a bit overload. Good multilayer work

mikew - who do not want to be reach I like the composition.

bforbes – very nice colors and graphic, I like this shot

elscotto – good idea, falling into the dream. Technically would be much better. Keep trying.

Aiki – I like an idea but montage is too visible. It makes composition unbalanced.

Heidi – another multilayer work. I like an idea but it wold look much better without white fade element in foreground

darlene – I hope that he will fly this plane some day. Nice picture

Lilly – delightful and works excellent in mono. Very creative. Multilayer reality on the multilayer work. Well done.

beakynet – nice shot taken in difficult conditions, iso1600 so it must be with noise

Malo1961 – hmmm I still can not find a clue to this picture

Jyrkira – excellent work, two levels of reality in the same frame, a slipping man and his dream in the same frame. Nice colors and composition.

Snappycaz – another great entry. It looks like an impressionist picture. On the border between dream and reality. I like this shot.

lensacape – great portrait, do you have dreams like that?? I like color and composition

sumanta – nice B&W but 2/3 of white space in the frame makes the composition unbalanced

GlynM – I LOVE this work. This is the funniest entry I ever seen. Hipperty made my day.

Spad – nice experiment with zooming


Results:

1: Smash the clock by Jyrkira

2: Waiting for the Water Imps by Snappycaz

3: of being on that Rarotongan beach again soon! - Lilly

Special distinction for GlynM for the funniest entry in the competition.

Thank you for entries.

Congratulations !!!

Many thanks for adding the commentary Rapala.

A really interesting topic.

Apologies for not entering but I am about to go on holiday and there was an 18 to 1 chance of winning

Very glad to see that Hipperty was awarded a special distinction

Many thanks for the special distinction. It was definitely a tongue-in-cheek submission.

Hipperty is very pleased but I'm afraid the fame & success has gone a bit to his head and it will be a while before he calms down. However I'm sure he will be back and appear in some future photo submissions

Many thanks to Rapala for the comments!

Good judging Rapala and congratulations to Jirkira. Smoke is a good subject for the next competition.

Rapala, thank you for the judging & for the feedback. I'm thrilled to have my entry selected second. Glad you liked it.

Glad Hipperty got a mention too.

Lilly's entry was my favourite.
