Great contest!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. The paving in the various shades of black and white is most appealing- this offers a great contrast against the focal point- that of the woman and her red umbrella . The attention to detail is perfect - that of the white dress to match part of the brick work and even that of the red shoes to match that of the red umbrella. The slight vignette on the sides also tends to draw the eye more towards the central positioned focal point. Congrats and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. The perfect maze of symmetry is most appealing. This is enhanced by the slight vignettes around the edges. The woman in the middle is very diminutive but this draws the eye in to linger longer than usual. We discover the end prize of conquering the madness of this complicated maze. The red dress also aids in drawing the eye into the focal point of the image. Congrats and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. The perfect symmetry of the three cyclists is most appealing and well structured. Great attention is also given to the smallest detail- that of all the clothing being colour coded in orange and green. The perfect symmetry is also extended to the perfect alignment of the shadows being cast The plain background also tends to draw the eye in more towards the cyclists and the shadow cast rather than focusing on other aspects of the image.Congrats and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge The cobbled stones work perfectly in this image- one can not but help hear the clippity clop of the horse's hooves created by the marching styled as illustrated per the image. The symmetry is perfected by the stance between the individual horsemen. The uniforms also act as an extra appeal drawing us in and making one linger longer than usual on the image. Congrats and well done!
