At that cool mall in Frankfurt. Lots of neat stuff to shoot down on. Had fun with both the Lensbaby and the new little point and shoot. Even shot giant shoe planter thingies that would work in either open challenge. Going with this one for what it portrays, and in honor of the July Lensbaby side challenge. And yes, I know this has that miniaturization thing going on. Kinda works with the theme, though, doesn't it?

VERY pleased with the comments - thank you kindly! And this is shot from an upper floor looking down, and the escalator is indeed another layer down. All very confusing and made moreso by the Lensbaby distortion.

This one is really trippy. The railing behind the dad really threw me off. That split the picture, along with the different levels and the LB blur, I really had to look at this for a while to sort out what I was looking at. This is a pretty cool shot.
I should have known that this was a Melethia. Well done. I love it when a photo draws me in to investigate it in detail... this, like many of your images has those hooks that drag me in and make me take my time to look at it. Exceptional work...
already voted just coming back to comment-- the shapes/ are great... interesting use of focus/blur very artistic-- i gave this a high score because it evokes emotion/ shows artistic skill and has an array of interesting shapes/elements in it- which repeat (triangles for instance within the shape i see a few times- whether intentional or unintentional it is a nice effect... :-) *came back to bump the score up a bit* :-)
This is something unique in this challenge... what is real, and what is a reflection? or is this one concourse with an escalator going under it... I like it, though I doubt Joe Average voter on DPC will give it the time it deserves, unfortunately. However, I think you're a good chance to pick up a posthumous award (or similar).
Great sentiment. One of the best uses of selective/creative blur (in camera or PS) I've seen in a while. One of my top10 faves from the challenge. (no vote, just leaving comments).
Oh man this is good....What a wonderful eye you have to see and capture this. The lines are awesome and the "centerdness" of the subjects is wonderful. I can't say enough about it. If I could give it more than 10 I would!
very nice mood. nice composition. tilt-shift lens? I can almost hear how the noise in the mall blends out of their heads :-) the slight off-center of the family makes it a bit strange.
