Thank you for participating with your art. Light painting is such an interesting form of photography. So much preparation, skills in and out of the camera to create a moment in time. This shot is beautiful, powerful and feels gigantic. The cave, the reflection, the colors, the lighting...all comes together to create a beautiful masterpiece.

Thank you for participating with your art. Wow, just wow. Took me a long time to understand what this shot was, looked like a painting, then paint, but reading the description, its pattern of nature under the ice, what a plot twist. Gorgeous shapes, the colors all complement each other, you can't tell what you see and you can help but look at it. Great eyes to spot this one and great work enhancing this beauty.

Thank you for participating with your art. I wanted to say that this is so simples yet so heartwarming. The center of the funnel really drags you in, like a black hole, impossible to look away. This shade of blue is also very peaceful and makes me want to stay in and stare. love the composition...great find of this natural art in nature

Thank you for participating sharing your art. This photo is such an amazing example of the right time, right place and right technic. The composition makes this scene magically out of this world. The dark colors help to compose the mood, with the gold statue drawing the eye. Great job

Thank you for participating with your art. This photo got me in ways I can't truly explain. The idea, the execution, the frame, it all comes together to create a very daunting feeling, like I don't know what to do with myself when I look at it. I love when art do this. The anticipation really speaks to me. Texture is on point. Love the creativity of this man made impermanent art mini instalation

Thank you for participating in this contest. I was looking forward to see some spider webs and this one stood up the most to me. I really appreciate how the spider web itself is the focus of the shot. The intrisic architecture of each part of the web it's glorious in this shot. To know this amazing piece of art might not be there moments later is so interesting. The work its out on to be destroyed by a simple wind that blows too strong. Great capture and edit.

That you for participating with your art. I love how the importance of this art comes with a very specific process, steps and different objects/props to create something to be eternal in a frame. This is the kind of impermanent man made art I wanted to see. You can't help it but look it. So much creativity. Colors are beautiful and create such a delicious mood.

Thank you for participating with your art. This photo strike twice, the impermanence of the beautiful rainbow and the reflection of the building. The architecture of the structure in the middle, as a grounding center of art, lasting for years, with importance all around it. It really shows how art can be composed in so many different ways. The composition is amazing, colors are speaking to each other creating a very calming and intriguing image. Amazing job

Thank you for participating with your at. This shot takes in the natural patterns of sand and water and plays with your head, sometimes I see a woman's body, it comes and goes...the composition allows for your imagination to fly high. Very dramatic she and good eye to capture this moment in time.

Thank you for participating with your art. This portrait is absolutely breathtaking. I was really hoping to see some body paint in this contest and I appreciate what you did here. The photo tells a story, it feels like a sad one, her eyes stare at your soul, it's hard to look for too long. The blues that compose the sky on her face, the background and her headpiece all come together in a very harmonious way, blending in like a storm into the ocean. This is truly a work of art, the model and the shot. Well done

In this contest I would like to see your photos that capture some form of impermanent art, which was made by either man or nature and will disappear after the shot or very soon afterwards. Examples include things like body painting, light painting, spiderwebs, rock balancing, sand patterns and more. Try to capture the fleeting nature and transient beauty that can be found in the temporary. I cannot wait to see your photos.
