pukifloyd: Your entry seems a bit heavy on the PP side, but it gives the impression of two young folks who do indeed just want to go home. Was this posed or candid?

Thanks luminosity
Can you explain Your entry seems a bit heavy on the PP side? Sorry...I am new to this

They didn't pose...its natural

Congratulations VirtualRain! Great photo!

An almost surrealistic image, and right out of the gate this was my default winner if I didn't see anything better. I love the colors and the back and forth between the subject and the mirror, along with your hand. Very colorful and just very well done overall .

Thank you very much, 2nd place is pretty awesome, cheers man. I agree with you on VirtualRains photo, it is simply stunning, I almost secretly hoped he wouldn't post it It's a stunning use of lighting and silhouette.

Congrats Virtualrain!

EDIT: pukifloyd, if it means the same thing as it doesn't in film, PP means post-production, as in, your photo was edited a fair amount in photoshop

3rd place:

NeGRit0:

Another great shot of her. I really like the energy here, and that it's in monochrome. The angle works well, because it gives directional tension against the direction of the background. I like shooting stuff like this a lot, and I would love to have photographed her. Well done .

Wow, third? Thanks! If you are in Vegas in the near future you could probably shoot her. She is a performer downtown. There was also a blonde that was absolutely gorgeous, but I didnt get any decent shots of her.

Kudos to VirtualRain, I knew you were going to be tough to beat.

Congrats!!!

Congrats NeGRit0, Schtumple and VirtualRain.

Luminosity, this was at the Downtown Long Beach Art Walk. The guy is a clothing store owner and the girl is a designer. We were having a few drinks next door towards the end of the day

pakyooh: Inquiring minds want to know who this pair is. Were they a couple or as unknown to each other as they are to people here? I like the energy and fun here .

A bunch of really nice pics this week. Great job judging and commenting, Luminosity. VirtualRain had a really unique and eye-catching photo which deserved the nod this week, but I enjoyed seeing all of the posted entries.
