Just the usual disclaimer : I’m certainly not a qualified reviewer of digital images . I’m not a qualified reviewer of anything , I’m just an old fart with cataracts and bifocals . Anyway ; some commentary and the winners;
@mollyc : Nicely composed sort of monochromatic image . The vignetting is really effective , was it done in camera or in post?
@chuckee : Doesn’t get much drier than this ! Wonderfully big cacti … in a botanical garden ?
@Sierra Vista : Rocky trail through a hot dried out landscape . Not the kind of walk I prefer . But maybe there’s a cold beer waiting in the town in the distance .
@C0ncreteBl0nde : What a different take on the subject . Who knows how long those flowers have been there . Hope there’s someone who’ll replace them . Makes me feel kinda sad .
@oblomow : Tides out and it’s high and dry …is the boat abandoned , or just neglected ? I think I would have tried to include a bit more open space to the right of the boat to balance things out a bit .
@Apple_Glen_UK: Warm … dry …palm trees . I’ll be wishing for all 3 in a few days if the weather forecast is accurate . In the foreground , it appears to have been mown and planted , part of a small farm maybe ?
@lkalliance : Sure is dry … where is this? Over the Badlands in the western US? Interesting strata in the rocks . Was this taken from a commercial flight , a small plane traveling much lower , or some sort of drone shot ?
@_timo_redux_ : Another western U.S. shot? Utah ? What’s going on in the foreground with the greenery? Intentionally out of focus ? Wind motion ? Taken from a moving vehicle?
@Snowlover : The dried out garden in the fall . Still clearing out my weed patch . Nice job isolating foreground from background . Prime lens wide open?
@coolguy4747 : Another aerial shot . Over Utah , maybe , or Arizona ? Is that a river or a road snaking its’ way through the cliffs? Can’t really make it out .
@piatigorsky : Film ! Grain ! Nicely composed and processed . The subjects seem to pop out . Negative scan or from a print? Great colors considering the roses are dried out .
@ mtbdudex : Another different take … Great reflections of the sky , really colorful image . But 4 people fit under that umbrella ?
@kendallm : Dry streets , dry drain , dry scooter (hopefully the thing in the street hasn’t fallen from the scooter .Any idea what the arch is in the background?
@thirsty_monk : Nicely composed ; but what’s the dry leaf resting on ? Wet pavement? Fresh , never driven on , asphalt , some sort of printed background ?
So , the winners ….
