Yeah, I figured this image would get short shrift, but I think it's terrific. Absolute, crystalline symmetry can be quite compelling, and many people must have expected such, as it is the challenge title, but allowing space to breathe is nice. More approachable, relatable, interesting. The front two ducks are actually quite close to the expected standard, but have the quickening of life to them. Such beautiful grays, greens and yellows. And the sense that what symmetry there is is momentary, a fortuitous snippet of choreography. Most pleasing.
Personal favorite of the challenge. The 9. |
