Weekly Challenge #86: Stories... Winners

d.bradley · 01-31-2009, 06:05 AM

I'm not one for pomp and circumstance, so here are my choices:

3rd: rpriedhorsky

I picked this one because the cigarettes themselves reminded me of people...each cigarette has a history, a conversation, a moment shared, a story told. They almost give the appearance of a quiet battlefield moments after the guns have stopped firing.

2nd:Marc Sabatella

It took a moment for me to interpret this one, and that's why I like it. A touching moment that pulls at the heart strings for anyone who has lost someone close to them.

Winner: RollsUp

The best of the bunch photographically, this shot stuff has all the right stuff. The DOF, the tones, the clothes, body language, the bumps in the road. This shot could easily hang in a gallery.

So RollsUp, you're up!

When I saw rpriedhorsky's, I immediately thought of my Honeymoon on a few Greek islands.... a smoothened grain of stone, a cigarette butt, a smoothened grain of stone, a cigarette butt ...

Yep, RollsUp's was definitely the bestest. Congrats!
