IOW Selections for the week ending Jan 26

[fotofrank]

My Pics for Image of the week from all of the great submissions are:



Runner up Sepiana – Blurred Forrest

I like the color and the smooth transition from sharp to blurred in the image it has a great flow. The path gives a good leading line and it draws you into the scene.



Runner up Blackmutt – untitled

The still life image has great texture and tone and the hydrangea petals just add to the image. The highlight on the book draws your eye into the image and the texture overlay works well.



And now for the image of the week:



Deany – Tulips

This is an overall great image. The use of the vignette draws you in. The softness of the tulips works to blend in with the background. All of the colors work well to create the overall effect and the texture enhance the fell of the image – well done.

Thanks for judging, Frank.

Congratulations to Sepiana, I really like ICM images and have yet to get one I'm happy with. Judy, the contrast of texture between the books and the delicate petals made this a great starter image.
Dean, beautifully textured and presented, congratulations on your IOW selection.
