Challenge #330 Containers
Wait a minute, I thought 3rd place meant never having to....Oh well, here we go. Let's stick with the container theme. I am looking for color, repetition, pattern, the 'artier' the better. Anything goes, have fun!
The results are in:
Thanks to all who played this week. So glad we made it up to 7 (would have been awkward to have more winners than losers.) I have to say all of the photos met the ‘I’m looking fors” brilliantly and I would feel very comfortable with any of them in the winner’s circle.
mrshobden, “Quirky Coffee/Tea Pot Containers Spotted on A Wall In Essex”: Another simply wonderful still life! I think this met the challenge beautifully. I love the repetition of the gray color and rectangular patterns accented with the splashes of green. I also really appreciate the found art quality of the subject and of the entry itself.
teekay, “Plant Pots Galore”: I had to do a double take on this one. This could have been taken at the old K Mart in Boulder! Trust me, as an avid gardener I’ve spent many afternoons there. I’m a huge fan of our mountain backdrop and it looks like yours is, at least, every bit as nice. But getting back to the contest theme, the part of this picture that draws me in the most is the hanging basket section. I might have made it more of the center of focus and cropped out some of the rest of shot.
Maureen Souza, “ Color On My Patio”: Gorgeous, bold colors, fun mixed colors in the zinnias, nice shot
Marie, “Binfull”: Art is in the eye of the beholder. Lots going on in this shot. I loved the magazine flipping open on top of the bin. What a story our trash tells!
Kevan_G9, “on the rocks”: I was really looking forward to seeing what you would do with this; not disappointed! Very creative answer to the challenge. I loved the choice of a monotone color and the layers and layers of repetition as well. Nicely done!
pwdieter, “model railway containers”: Another very creative response to the challenge. I really liked the choice of using the targeted focus area. Sharp, vibrant colors, and as always the viewer is drawn into the picture and wants to linger there.
Fd3s,”Basilica”: I’m not sure if this is your first entry with us or not, either way, welcome! As to your entry, all I can say is “Boom, goes the dynamite!” Stellar shot. The colors just pop like crazy against all of the gray. I love the angle, the juxtaposition of the containers and the new change they represent against the ancient basilica. Well done!
And the winners are:
3rd Place: ‘Basilica’
2nd Place: ‘on the rocks’
1st Place: 'Quirky Coffee/Teapot Containers Spotted On A Garden Wall in Essex'
