Digital Camera Speed Challenge #445 - Poetic Images

Here are my thoughts on the submissions:

M_Six – Great composition and apropos to the verse that you chose. I’d like to see some more saturation in the wings of the plane but maybe that’s closer to the reality?

Hye5 – Definitely got the Wow Factor! Everything works in the image and what a great choice of lyrics.

Alveric – Beautiful image, I like the plain black background and I’m partial to slightly less than perfect flowers. I can relate to Mr. Blake’s poem.

Benitoite – I love your choice of poem, it evokes great imagery. I think that the image could probably use a bit of crop and the colourful piece in the upper left is a little distracting.


#1 - Hye5 takes the win

#2 - Alveric

I see M_Six and Benitoite in a tie for third

All yours Hye5...looking forward to the next challenge!

Still time to post!

After this Rain shall stop,
A wondrous Light will fill
Each dark, round drop;

Challenge is closed. Results up soon.

Results at the top.

Thanks for the nod Darkslinger! All really wonderful images and a really thought provoking theme! Congrats to everyone!

The next challenge is posted... Not as much thought required though

Congratulations, Hye5 ! ! !

I really thought this was a great challenge - such an interesting concept to mate poetry with an image!

I really wanted to enter. And because of this challenge I spent three or four hours this past week reading poetry. I just never found a poem that seemed to be a perfect match for any of my photos, so I didn't submit an entry. But I did want darkslinger to know that I thought it was a great idea, despite my lack of participation - at least you got me motivated to read some good poetry!

Kudos, Hye5. Knew that was a winner as soon as I saw it. Awesome image.

Well done to everyone else.

Thank you M_Six. I appreciate the comment.
