October Contest: GLOW!

[Kristen Lango]

@Annabishop Brava Anna!! This is a fantastic concept and very well executed. I love that you chose to do the challenge in just black and white too! You should be very proud of this piece.

@Mia-Clarke - your images are just amazing! I love the delicacy of your lifework and each image is so intriguing and atmospheric. Awesome work.

@Laurel-Aylesworth - what a gorgeous image and you really did make it glow! Well done.

@Cayleen - this image is beautiful and love the glow you achieve through the window.

@Jeremy-Ross - this bedroom is so lovely, reminds me of my daughter's room and the wee star is adorable!

[Mia Clarke]

@Lorna-H Oh, Lorna, thank you, I needed to hear that today! I love your work too!

@Annabishop This is one of my favorites!

@KajsaH Hehe! This is such a clever idea! I hope the kids succeed in sneaking their new pet upstairs.

@Mia-Clarke I'm absolutely in love with both of your submissions this month. Great work!

[kirsten-mcg]

There are so many amazing entries this month! I managed to get 2 done for the first time (I cranked out the 2nd image last minute and got it submitted 2 hours before the deadline. Phew!) Of course on the bird one I didn't notice that the top of one of the buildings was crooked until AFTER I submitted. Oh well... [alt text]

I submitted this minutes before midnight! Still thought I'd share it here, as I am new to the forum and trying to build the habit. So many beautiful pieces this month

[Martha Johnston]

@kirsten-mcg amazing. great job. I did a last minute entree too.

[Mia Clarke]

@kirsten-mcg The bird one is fantastic. Really, really well done!

[Pamela Fraley]

Well, the entries for October are in! And let us just say, they fill us with a warm glow Great job everyone!

We'll be updating the Critique Arena website over the next few days, so don't be alarmed if you don't see your entry yet

Our next Critique Arena is scheduled for 2pm MST on Nov 17 (check here for other time zones). It's sure to be another nailbiter!

In the meantime, it might be a good idea to get cracking on the Nov prompt, because it is a doozy!

The prompt is: This was the end of the road for Kamari...Or was it a new beginning?

You have @Jake-Parker to thank for this one!

(And just fyi, I'll be posting a thread for the Nov contest shortly, let's keep this one for the Oct prompt )

@Kim-Rosenlof Thanks a lot, Kim

[Mia Clarke]

@stephanie Thank you so much, that means a lot!

[Mia Clarke]

@stephanie Your piece made me feel all the feels. You really are good at reducing concepts down and just concentrating the heck out of them. Great piece.

[Lorna H]

@Mia-Clarke - I'm glad the message came at the right time. Your work is awesome. I meant to say that I loved the delicacy of your "linework" but autocorrect changed it to "lifework"! Apologies - I didn't have my specs on when I was typing!

[kirsten-mcg]

@Martha-Johnston glad I'm not the only one lol! I love the way yours turned out.

[kirsten-mcg]

@Mia-Clarke Thanks so much!
