AND NOW, THE WINNERS!!!
Firstly, you have to know that my decision, which is only my own, hasn't been easy. Before I won, I didn't really imagine the responsabilty to choose ONLY ONE winner... Several pictures may win this contest, but the rule is clear. I'll be with the others With All My Heart.
I thank again, the participants (95 posts) for their effort, trying their best. All along viewing the photos, I've been pleasently surprised by the fact that many pictures were recently commented about their ability to "tell a story", that shows that people were interested in the topic.
HONORABLE MENTION:
kzaret:
for the distorsion between the eyes of the girl and the pair of glasses on the table
berndk:
for the very simple composition and the forces of Nature and Love
duto:
A great strength of evocation with few details and nice background
THIRD PLACE:
tsienni:
for the mystery and its ambiguity
SECOND PLACE:
oz_ranger:
for the contrast between its dark side and its color one (despair and hope)
WINNER!
c_schweizer:
The black and white process is nicely managed for the perfect direction of the actor and of the scenario. Simple and very powerful.
Congratulations Claudia, for your very nice picture!
Now, you have to prepare the next contest, it's another story...
Best regards,
Alain.
