Theme Winners - Mini-worlds

[Christopher Miller]

Sorry this is a little late, life interfered. Very outstanding images by everyone, but Michael's images really stood out! Congratulations on a clean sweep, Michael!


First Place - I'll always have your back - Michael Gerald-Yamasaki
A very whimsical, fairy tale image! Love the layers of color and how the horse and bird pop against the dark BG.

Second Place - Desperately Seeking Symmetry - Michael Gerald-Yamasaki
A very dynamic piece of abstract art! The title perfectly describes it.

Third Place - Point of Impact - Michael Gerald-Yamasaki
Love the color and action! You can just see the wave breaking around the watery world in the middle.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Triple Congratulations, Michael! Your images were very, very creative Thanks, Christopher, for judging.

[Michael Gerald-Yamasaki]

Thanks everyone and thanks Christopher for judging. I remember being impressed by a mini-world posted quite some time ago that reminded me of "The Little Prince" with a lone tree on a small world (maybe Jackie's?) anyway I couldn't find it in the theme winner sticky (too bad that's not updated any more). Oh, I found it in the Image of the week... it was Jackie Schuknecht's Waiting for the Little Prince http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php/115891

Why I like the OOTB themes so much. When I saw Jackie's image I wanted to figure out the technique behind it and have experimented off and on since. So, thanks Jackie. Your image really got me thinking...

Cheers,

-Michael-
