Dgrin Mini-Challenge #262 - Lines, patterns, repetitions *** RESULTS ***

pegelli

@sarasphotos : nice set, I like the crookedness of the first, the tension created by the tower in the second and the strong geometry in the third. Well done
@JAG : especially the first and third appeal to me. strong colours and repetition in the first and a contrast between different patterns and lines in the third
@ CHANDLERJA : also in your set I like the first and third best, the first for the way you get drawn into the image and the third for the almost, but imperfect, symmetry
@DavidRGillespie : A very strong set, the first is a beautiful play of lines, textures and tones and the second is very special. The third (with the link to JAG's picture) made me smile
@puzzledpaul : great find and well executed
@grandmaR : You can not only photograph but your drawings are nice as well! I like the other two as well allthough I might have cut off a bit off the bottom of the third to really concentrate on the lines and shapes
@slpollett : You only found one, but it's a nice one. I like how all the different elements make up some strong lines
@bfluegie : 3 nice ones, I like the contrast between the old and new shapes in the first and really get drawn into the second one
@Gatto : Your second one is phenomenal, more about that later
@lkbart : You have a very skilled hubby Did he get lessons from M.C. Escher?
@sapphire73 : I really like the first and third, the first for the tension created by the difference between the scene and the reflection, the third for the symmetry

And now the winners

3rd place goes to puzzledpaul for a great shot with the right mix between order and chaos:

2nd place goes to DavidRGillespie for a perfect pattern with nice colours and a shining coverage:

1st place goes to Gatto for apicture where both the subject is gripping and the execution flawless:

Congrats Gatto for a well deserved win and I'm looking forward what challenge you will bring us.

Thanks to all other entrants, the quality of shots entered was very high, so you all deserve a HM

Congratulations to Gatto, and thanks for the feedback and second place. I really enjoyed coming back to this set and scanning them over and over. A great challenge and a wonderful group of images. Looking forward to the next challenge

Congratulations to all - and thanks for the feedback - I totally see how that would have made that photo better.

Congrats to Gatto for the win! Great selection of winners! & appreciate the Escher reference, we are both very big fans of his work! & yes, my hubbie creates beautiful things with wood!

Gatto

Thank you @pegelli, I always knew I was the best and now that it is official I can retire...LOL Just kidding I am humbled by your decision, all the entries are so special and great, any one could have been picked to be first and we would all agreed, having said that I am going to pass the torch to DavidRGillespie since I will not be able to judge the next challenge.
Thank you all.

DavidRGillespie

Thanks @Gatto. Looks like I caught the bouquet again I have an idea for the next challenge but it will take me a bit to gather the images. Its late here, so I will tackle it in my morning.
