MINI #184 F.T.F. - The (actual) Results!
Thanks again to all who entered this Mini... it's a very diverse and interesting group of images!
So, here's my favorites, some of which probably conform very closely to the theme/idea
and some which may expand the interpretation, but are - for me - awesome and compelling images.


Honorable Mentions INPO

superduckz - Main St Bridge

Although the subject appears large, I don't see this one as particularly frame-filling - but I really like the image... the detail and tones are very nice - excellent conversion.


kentwaller - sainte-chapelle

Again architecture, a closer crop of just a few sections of the stained glass would be more frame-filling, but the unique beauty of the church,
and just the idea of the building/making such a thing is very impressive... nice capture.


kdotaylor - Water on a Leaf

All three images are very nice, but I'm a big fan of natural patterns/textures, and this has wonderful
examples of both... the focused magnification in the droplet is perfect!


DonRicklin - Buoy time

Love this one... very frame-filling - the colors, shapes, and charm of the subject stand-out.


lifeinfocus - "Lines"

I would have cropped this a little closer, but I like it a lot for the color, texture, and the "lines".
This one is a good example of finding fun subjects in everyday stuff.


CHANDLERJA - Neck Strain

I love this one - easily should be one of the winners! We've all seen this done before, but this one stands-out to me because of the four different sets of
reflections and textures on the buildings - great sky and technical excellence too!

On to the top three... as always, tough to narrow-down and establish "places" as they all have strong, equal appeal to me - but someone must carry the baton!

Third Place
sappphire73 - Shoes (of school children in Kenya)

When communicating our humanity in images, we often concentrate on faces, bodies, etc. I love when an image tells us
something about people with elements more subtle - in this case, the simplicity of just legs, shoes, and socks... wonderful image and treatment!


Second Place
billseye - "One Feather" - Venerable Hippy of East Beach

So, here's the human face I spoke-of... and what a face - cool image! There were several very nice portraits submitted,
but this image has an intense, off-beat impact that appeals to my inner-grunge. Eyes are, indeed, windows to the soul.

First Place
davev - Ghost

WOW! is all I need to say about this image... to stain the whiteness with additional verbiage seems wrong - congrats Dave!

Thanks again to y'all Dgrinners for the privilege of viewing and choosing your images!

Thanks for the honorable mention. You ranked the winners very well IMO. Such a magnificent winning shot. I think once it showed up we were all thinking about second place. Bravo

Thanks everyone.

This, like all mini's have a lot of great photos in it, and could have gone many ways.
Every now and then, I get lucky.

Your new Mini Challenge is up.
Have fun.

Eric, thank you for running this mini and for your comments on my photo of the shoes (in Kenya). Lots of great entries and a lovely surprise to be mentioned in the results! (Heading back to Kenya in a few months.)
