5.9.17 through 5.23.17 Angela wanted to explore the theme or concept of “loneliness” as a human and an artist. How is loneliness expressed in photography and what can we do as photographers to shed light on this subject. She gave us this quote: “I – so imperfect , so weak , so unspeakably lonely.” - Virginia Woolf Judged by Earth Angels - Angela Juhasz Photography  Congratulations to our Spotlight Artist Alicja Pietras Photography Angela says: "I loved the crop, the texture you could almost feel and the look of solitude of the subject. Congratulations"  Angela's top five favorites in no particular order are:      4.25.17 through 5.9.17 Theme: "The sea always filled her with longing, though for what she was never sure.” ― Cornelia Funke Judged by Sarah Landa Photography  Congratulations to our spotlight artist: Cindy Cavanagh  Rounding out the top submissions for the theme are:  Vicki Winston of Northern Shadow        11.4.17 through 4.25.17 Theme: "Do not go gentle into the good night.

Judging was SO hard. I am in love with every single image and all the wonderful perspectives that came with each one. But I had to choose, so my top pick is:   Alicja Pietras Photography This image is strange and captivating, it brought me somewhere. It had me contemplating, it stayed with me. It reminded me of the swelling open heart that children have, and how they blossom as they age from a newborn into the unadulterated well of feeling that is toddlerhood and at some point that bloom will reach crescendo and begin to close as adulthood nears. This image moved me, and for me it suited the theme so perfectly because while I was more than able to come to my own conclusions, it's bizarre and wonderful and clearly interpretative. But choosing an overall favourite was so hard, this is one of the most beautiful invitations into the strange bits of your hearts and I want to thank you all for participating. You are all wonderfully out of the ordinary. And that makes you extraordinary. My top 9 in no particular order:          2.14.17 through 2.28.17 Theme: "For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you" - Andrew McMahon Judged by: Ashlee Krammes   Congratulations to our Spotlight Artist Melissa Rabbitt Photography ROUNDING OUT THE TOP IMAGES "For all the things my hands have held..."         1.31.17 through 2.14.17 Theme: "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." ~ Thomas Merton Judged by: Janet Douglas   Congratulations to our Spotlight Artist Anita Cline rounding out the top images "art enables us..."
