‘Little’ by Lee Atwell

I was struck by Lee’s complex compositional arrangement of forms in this image. Two imposing and architecturally incompatible buildings dwarf the little boy. Is Lee suggesting (symbolically) that man has created a world that is overwhelming our humanity, and we are lost in an artificial world? Great eye (and message?) Lee!

Le Rocher de la Vierge’ by Laetitia HC

The dramatic recessional device, the pier, Laetitia uses to construct this composition gives this capture its power. I like the alternating passages of light and dark tones, and juxtaposition of surface textures. The figures on the pier, and their shadows, work well too to punctuate the vigorous receding diagonal of the composition. Nice use of “leading lines” Laetitia!

To Relax and Enjoy Life (By Blackbird Café)’ by Michelle Robinson

Oh what beautiful light and colour suffuses this peaceful scene. The narrative Michelle captures, stops the viewer immediately, as we pause and contemplate this man at his meal, quietly reading the newspaper. I love how Michelle uses this soft, diffused light to envelope the subject, creating a momentary stillness in the action, for us to reflect upon. Lovely Michelle.

‘Reflections at Sunset’ by Goha Radziszew

This clever compositional device of buildings reflected in a pool of water (puddle?) is nicely captured/executed in this shot. Here Goha makes use of the clear, crisp light that cuts across the facade of the architecture successfully using it as a compositional element. The repetition of the roofline, echoes in the reflection is also a lovely visual element. Nice job!
