OOTB group has done it again! This has been an outstanding week with amazing array of artistic creations. It makes it near impossible to come up with few winners! So, I have gone by my feelings; some of which has evolved over years through popular culture and movies like Spellbound to the most recent Inception. I have tried to look at the images from different perspectives of creativity, subjective and technique. Here they are -
First Place - Michael Gerald-Yamasaki for "Do Fish Dream of Tiny Swimming Birds". Imaginative and whimsical, this image appeals at many levels, intellectually and emotionally. Excellent in planning and execution. Congratulations Michael!
Joint second place
Judy Howle for "Swamp Monster". This one reminded me of Spellbound. Judy's treatment here made this image very much a place one will NOT want to visit in dreams!Third Place - Dan Brown for "Just PLANE Odd!". This is where dream starts to go somewhere we are not sure about! Excellent abstract and technique.
Paul Lagasi for "I Dream OOTB". We are glad that Paul dreamed this up! Excellent composite and technique that stand out.
Fourth Place - Mark Fuge for "North Shore Dreamscape". This is a trekkie dream! Mark completely transformed to an image some will go any length to see and see again.
Fifth Place - Cheryl Slechta for "Dreamscape - Canyon walls". A stump as canyon wall? This is Déjà vu! Very convincing, Cheryl.
Congratulations to the winners and all the participants for some outstanding images that did not get mentioned here today. I really enjoyed this week and looking forward to another excellent week of images.
