i will try to pick out from each challenge a few of the finalists, that can be shown as examples of good work.
what i liked about this shot: the symmetry. the bw is really good. i'm drawn to look at the two subjects, and find out what they are about. there's a feast of visual objects here, lines, curves, angles, and a strong focal point. the shot keeps me engaged.

gubbs has a great eye, and he didn't disappoint here, either at shoot or in post. it's a dramatic photograph, quite pleasing. the couple, silhouetted, surrounded by all the little tiny bubbles of the surf. i think the only improvment may be to shoot wider even, but that's probably a personal bent :D

this photo is classically composed, and very pleasing to look at. the ess curve leads the viewer waaay into the photograph, the colors and exposure is spot on, and there's no doubt about the subject matter - alone.

this doesn't take away from ginnette, gthang, spockling, and johnnydanger's fine works.
