This was my top pick, I thought it was artistically & technically superb,
and the concept nailed the topic perfectly.

This set me back at first also, but the more I looked at it the more I
decided that they added to the highly contrasting blend of shapes and
colors. And that high contrast was integral to the image, both artistically
and conceptually.

Yes, they draw the eye into the image, projecting purpose & motion without
actually defining either.

The lighting is also excellent, bringing out a lot of detail and depth
without leaving shadows that might detract.

Great image!
