freaky665 And the winner is:Flowers for Ingrid -- Part III by ~aimeelikestotakepics
One of the judges described the image like this;
This is a perfectly executed portrait. The composition, the lighting, the textures and colors. It's all done very well. What I enjoy most is that this shows that you don't need the highest-quality equipment on the market to create fantastic art. This is show outdoors and all costuming is from a second-hand store. The artist went out and realized the concept she had in her head with the resources she had available. And she did an amazing job.The second place gets:An exclusive texture pack by =

Reverie by ~fo0losophy
A judge said this about the piece;
I liked Reverie, because it is quite well executed: the tonal range has variations within the same palette, the framing is not static and the shallow depth of field is well used with a contrast between the foreground / subject and background.The third place gets:An exclusive texture pack by =

I cant really tell why I like this image. I guess it's the train tracks and the expression on the models face. It doesn't look staged, it seems like an ordinary event that just passed by.
