We're definately getting more bang for the buck with this thread - people are actually dicsussing photography not the usual "nice work, well done, I love it, etc."

One of my photo teachers back in the 1970's taught me to squint when composing a photograph, so that I see the play of light and dark lines and shapes without the detail distracting me. Often when I see a photo that I am particularily attracted to, I do the same squinting, to diagnose why I was drawn to the photo in the first place - hence the reference to "chairoscuro".

And I do appreciate the discussion here in this thread as well. I've been lurking for a while, but have just recently begun more active participation.

I voted for #2. To me, #2 has excellent color and detail. I like it very much and it draws me into the photo. I know #3 is getting the most votes, but #3 is too busy and really doesn't get my interest.

Number two for me...The fluorescent green hexagons make it stand out for me.

i just joined today, so i didnt know about the contests, i would have loved to enter this one...
anyway, i too vote for number 3. yes, it is busy, complicated and textured. however there are very strong organizing lines that i really like. and i like the busyness and range of tones well handled. that isnt as easy as it looks.

Number 1. Wish I could remember what I voted for originally..

...think it was No 6, which I almost went for again, but No 1 to me has something ....extra.
Cheers
