Really liked all the entries. Voted for the first one. It was simple and beautiful.

I think all entries, bar 6 and 7, try to do that. Some have grey skies (the 1st one and the fishing one), others are dark with some light focuses (the fire in the dark, the giant wheel in the night, the light at the end of the tunnel)

I agree, some have taken perspectives which symbolises dark and light contrast. Thank you, I can see what you mean. Really good on the members that made these pictures.

Because of Overhaul's reply I looked again, and I have to agree with you – I really love simplicity in photographs, and #1 does an amazing job in showing its beauty therein.

Ok, time to vote and hopefully bring some more last minute votes with the bump.

It was a toss up between #4 and #5 for me.

5 captures the essence of somberness. Grey skies, rain puddles, solitary monument (which happens to be the umbrellas!) and a lone fisherman all come together to make one perfectly somber mood.

But number 4 took the cake for me. The mysticism of that image just resonates with me. The tunnel is dark, damp and narrow, with walls covered in graffiti, and a lone man walks out of it into the light. It's just a perfect composition that tells a story of a journey by itself.
