Another extraordinary week of marvelous photos on Picture Picks. This week's event was People in Transit and we had 45 entries.
FIRST PLACE: My Sandra, by Eagle Finnegan
SECOND PLACE: Chance Meeting_Road to Lebrang, Gansu, by Val Juneman
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Singapore Chrome World: Sonja Blietschau
Driving to Work in Venice: Val Juneman
BEST OF THEME: He is Homeless by Heidi Breuer
Statement of Judge Brian Crossland on Best of Theme:
"The subject, surrounded by bags, seems to be not only in transit geographically but also in a transitionary state in their lives. The bridge towards which he is looking one imagines to be full of people also in transit unaware of the onlooker.
The bridge can be viewed as a symbol of success in contrast to the onlooker but bridges and their crossing are also often used as symbolic representations of transitions in people's lives. This element, as well as adding to the overall composition of the photograph, in combination with the main subject of the man, to me adds an extra dimension to the scene" (Brian Crossland, 28 Nov. 2009)

Yes, Becky, thanks for edit. I just hated all those huge spaces.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to all the winners. Once again this is a marvelous showcase of the talent we have in our little group.
I believe, Shers, that we set this up to take anonymous comments. And Blogger is good about taking comments from those with memberships to other sites.
ReplyDeleteIt could be that they feel they have made all their comments on the Picture Pick pages.
This is super. I love it that you have connected here.
