FAVWATCH PHOTOGRAPHY 15-1 Last updated: March 27, 2012 (1 new overall)

The very last final favwatch, I'm sure a lot of you are glad it's over.   You can find all of these art pieces in my Favwatch collection.  You can find the complete listing of Favwatches in the shoutboard of my journal.We'll do this again next year.


15. Mesa Arch Sunrise by Nate-Zeman
Best photo of the arches in Utah I've seen so far.  What a dazzling, breath-taking scene!

14.Can See the Music by S-t-r-a-n-g-e
Rare that I recommend anything for a DD so I'm glad this one made it.  


13. Talking to Shadows by hesitation
I always admired Hesi's ability to create cohesiveness out of complex environments.  In this photograph, her technical expertise and clear grasp of craft shines through.

12. Shadows and Movement 15 by kierrathorn
What a great piece of moving night photography.  She's got several like this in her gallery and this was by far my fav.

11. Wuzhen by foureyes This urban night scene is now officially my favorite foureyes masterpiece.  It really IS hard to not simply drool at everything Bernie submits.

10. American Dream by vinnymack
Poverty and pride.  Candid America.

9. DP6 – Jerryhazard by jerryhazard
In my humble opinion, Jerry's the most multi-talented cat on DeviantART.  This is an incredible multiple AND long-exposure.  We see the movement of the fan, the super-saturated light drowning the objects that it silhouettes.  The silhouettes themselves are incredibly ephemeral in nature, contrasting the more tangible emotive gestures in the foreground.  Fucking kickass.

8. Star Gazing by achfoo
This is just precious and would make anyone smile – if you're unable to smile when looking at this photograph, there's something really wrong with you.  It really captures the charm of innocence, carefree nature, and even the tender fragility that is childhood.

7. Pret-A-Porter by DalaiHarma
Huh huh…yeah.  No, but seriously – this is splendidly executed with the light, reflections and…I forgot what I was typing.  Moving on…

6. The omen – Requiem aeternaa by gridlockd
He's been featured a few times in the favwatch, but this is certainly the best by Gridlockd.  The power of numbers reads clearly here, as the great collection of crosses pepper what is presented as a turbulent sky.  The religious symbolism seems to make for an eerie and moody setting.

5.  Sweeping Sky by wb-skinner
John's cranked out some good ones and this is now  my favorite rural photograph on DA.  

4. Passage by wb-skinner

def. Passage (n.) – Must full view for details.  My favorite framed composition I've discovered on DeviantART.

3. The Beach at Arromanches by photogeekboy
If there's a photograph that I think makes time stands still, this is it.  I think the reason this capture seems frozen in time has much to do with the barren nature of this scene, the child looking back towards the water, the presentation of the crab, child, and distance beyond in limited canvas that is the photograph itself, not to mention the description of the photo itself.

2. Diary 006 by imogene

Lani's growth as a photographer has far outpaced anyone I've met on DeviantART in the last few years.  Her talent in invoking the concept of memory is stunning.  I'm floored with how good she's gotten and I love her to death.

1. Light From Above by Ian-Plant

Wow.  The standout from a standout photographer.
