Challenge #70 Sky
WINNERS
I have this hard time just choosing only 3 winners. I Just have no enough time to comment to each of the pictures for I'm already so delayed posting the winners. Every picture is just amazing. Different techniques and approaches. So here are my top 3.
1st Place: Horses on a misty morning by George7
For me, it's looks like a painting. The horses, the layered mountain at the background is just amazing. Clouds/mists are everywhere. I was asking myself, of all the entries, why I chose this as the 1st place? The setting is just perfect. I was looking at the picture and I thought is it's kind a blurry. But looking at it again, the mists makes the background blurry. The first mountain looks darker than the farther mountain. At the top, there's a thicker cloud that's going against the other clouds direction. The sky, the background, the foreground, and the time it was taken is just a package. It just caught my eye.
2nd Place: Eye in the sky by gkuenning
Very sharp and detailed. I like the creativity too. Technically, of all the entries, it's one of the best so far.
3rd Place: End of another day by In Japan
Another spectacular entry. I'm not sure if it's sunset or sunrise but I assume it's sunset. Cloud formation is impressive. The torii (I'm not sure if it's a torii since I learned that torii is a gateway) at the foreground adds an asian touch.
I have to admit that I had the hard time choosing the top 3. By doing that, I have to choose my personal favorites. Technically and artistically, all are winners.
I hope everybody enjoyed the challenge. Everything is just awesome.
Thanks.
Challenge #70 Sky
No specific requirements here. Be it sunrise, sunset, gloomy, summer, winter, exploding with colors, stormy, cloudy, dramatic, or even it's just a background of a subject (ex. buildings, mountain etc)... Pictures of the sky is everywhere.
As they say, SKY is the limit!
