Yin and Yang by endegor

Stairs...many of us walk up and down them everyday without a second glance, but they can and quite clearly are, art! This series is beautiful and well deserving of more attention!

Fear + Love by Tetchist

Fear + Love by Tetchist

Here is a clever contrast between fear and love, part of a wonderful series by Tetchist that needs far more attention than it already has. Brilliant concept, excellent execution - and so very true.

land of waste by 4linesoffrequencies

land of waste by 4linesoffrequencies

Suggester Says I think the atmosphere is one that is greatly heightened from the black and white contrast, but what I really like about this piece is the stillness that you can feel and there is a hidden beauty under it all, even if it is the "land of waste". It speaks of time past, almost.

in my old forgotten world. by imnotsana

in my old forgotten world. by imnotsana

Abstract art is about minimalism - about creating something simple yet beautiful, mysterious yet alluring. Sana has captured this perfectly here with a lovely hue and simple shapes.

there will be light again by kyokosphotos

there will be light again by kyokosphotos

- shelter - by A-T-I-S

Suggester Says A powerful and expressive concept - the hands really help to convey an array of emotions. The monochrome tones give this photo something of a horror-film feel, but ultimately that only makes seem it all the more striking.

reach by Holunder

reach by Holunder

Suggester Says I can't really decide... The photographer is greatly under-appreciated. They've managed to capture the atmosphere so well and I feel as if they've portrayed the mood effectively too. There is something in linking a concept with humanity, and I feel as if they've 'embodied' the concepts here very well.

Interlocking Rings by amobasher

Interlocking Rings by amobasher
