i’m a bit suprised that i am the only one who voted for krabju, the snow material is a bit off, but it is a complete scene which tells a story, and shows a knowledge of composition and form. i think that is worth a lot. not to detract from the other entries though. there are a lot of good ones this week.
Modron, as others have stated there are many entries this week that were capable of obtaining votes. I personally had to choose between 5 of them for my choice and it could have easily gone to MrKrabju.
I agree with your observations on the composition but in particular I like the way he(she) humanized the robot by placing the shawl over it’s shoulders and posed it so it looks like it pulling it tighter giving the impression the robot is feeling the chill. The sky is awesome in that picture and also in Martin Schurig’s entry.
I settled on mik1190’s entry for my vote as I immediately found it clever and funny.
There were a ton of great entries this week. My vote also went to mik1190 because the unique and whimsical play on this weeks theme struck a chord with my personality. Not only did the fire aspect of the theme come from an unexpected source, but it matched the theme phonetically as well. That is to say, with the theme being fire and ice, mik1190 gave us fire “in” ice.
Kudos to everyone.
