This is the oddest image I've entered lately. Just could not find an interesting approach to this challenge. This is an oblique shot of a red pillow on a red sofa with my brother reading a magazine at the far end. I love how the poppy pattern seems to pop out of the blurriness.

Beautiful. The short focal depth plays up the tension between the perpendicular lines, but also lets it slip away in the blur. Rich and sweet. Lovely photo.
This is a visual journey. What immediately pops into my mind is holding a camera at seat level in my favorite indian restaurant and snapping down the long, beautiful bench that runs the whole length of the dining room wall. The figure in the back is perfect, and the colors of yellow and purple create a good offset- they don't blend or compliment the red- makes it nice.
