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.
