Maps (not closeup photos of maps)

I love this photo for its simplicity and interaction. Fingers point to where the individual is from on a large scale map, of varying ages and skin tone, emoting diversity even in a small region. Thank you for participating in my contest "Maps."

Well done on your image and placement in the contest "Maps." Gray scale was a great choice to simplify the subject. A globe, boots, and a book, are all that is really needed for an adventure. Thanks for your kind participation.

Another great interactive image in this contest. The blue scale and metallic choice of color in the composition are attractive. Great choice to have an individual, out of film, place an item Mise en scene. Great job on your placement and thanks for participating in my contest "Maps."

You always have the fun expressions and impact images, sir! The subject individual indicates chaos and lostness in this comical image with details to image such as a cup of coffee knocked and spilling. Thank you for participating in my contest "Maps."

The blurred but visible background work well for this composition. Africa on the globe is clearly the point of focus, yet not the only place in the world, among other visible globes and adventures. When exploring, it is important to have a light in the dark that a lantern can provide. The tones and yellowing work well in balancing the image.

In this photo were dramatic colors, photographers interacting within the scene, and an angle of impact. The central alignment of the blue accent is important for balancing this composition. I appreciated many things about it, including a similar dark blue that subjects 1, 3, and 5 are wearing. Thank you for your submission!

What I liked about this photo were the playful nods to repeating color throughout. The globe is the center subject, not quite in the center, which was a great choice. A round globe contrasts with a rectangle building. The colors of blue, yellow, and white peek through the buildings and night behind. I perceived a sense of calm among busy city life. Thank you for your entry

The sepia tone is a good choice in this composition to emote vintage, time, and a Treasure Island sort of adventure with a map of our current world. Gold bounces throughout to emphasize quality and wealth. Ink blots on the letter are another important detail, suggesting hurriedness or the motion of a boat upon open waters. Thank you for your submission to my contest "Maps," and congrats on your top 10 placement.

What better photo to win top 10 of "Maps" than a pile of well organized and worn maps. The image quality was clear, the textures visible, indicating worth for the wear. The edges in alignment are satisfying and the image is best portrayed a little off center, so we do not see all edges. What a great composition. Thanks for participating in my contest and congrats on your placement!

Thanks for submitting a very dynamic photo of a globe in a cathedral. Faith buildings evoke a sense of connection and healing, and the image portrays a sense of the desire for the same for our planet Earth and its inhabitants.
