Thanks to everyone for putting "The beginning" in the winning slot for Get Pushed 6. I received a terrific challenge (thanks Dave) which pushed me in an inspirational direction... made all the difference. It's an honor to be able to choose the 5 finalists of last week's entries. With so many high quality images it was a very tough choice!
Voting will be open until Friday at midnight (Central European time)... I will count up the votes on the weekend and post the name of the winner who will get to pick the 5 finalists for this week... please vote by number...
1 - @ladyjane was pushed to take a photo with an industrial edge.
2 - @ebdubay was given the challenge of panning.
3 - @monika64 was challenged to find 3-5 unusual objects and create a still life composition of them.
4 - @chewyteeth was pushed to capture emotions and personality in a different way: no faces, no facial expressions, just emotional hands that tell the story...
I really all the artistic means - light, tones, pose, blur, composition, crop used to create the emotion!
2 for me!
I say 5
