Zen Colouring Contest #41 - Winners Showcase!

[magiccleatus]

Hello Everybody!

The time you have all been waiting for has arrived! Week 41 of #zencolouringcontest ended yesterday, and now to announce the winners!

So without further ado, let's get on with the show(case)!

The Community Favourite:

@lildebbiecakes

This entry was a common favourite among the comment votes in the Gallery of Entries Post and upvoters from the #zencolouringcontest community.

In 3rd place:

@tormenta

I picked this one because I love the pattern created by the transparent colours. The middle ring of diamond shapes that are split in half by green and blue is particularly eye catching and the pattern created in the outer sections is wondetful, especially with the added touch of transparency. The hand made background is also a nice touch!

In 2nd place:

@norwegiansteem

I choose this one because I love the mixture of colours, the pinks and purples blend well with the red and the grays and black contrast them to make the shapes and patterns stand out more. The alternating pattern of colours within each segment of shapes is quite striking and draws the eye in. I also like that subtle white glow around the design paired with the background they used, it brings their title of 'Energy' to life with arcs of energy seemingly releasing from the center!

And in 1st place:

@viking-ventures

I picked this one as the winner because I really love how they took on board the inspiration for this weeks design. The alternating pattern of colour within each ring of the design is very eye catching and the lighter tones of blue, pink and green offset the red beautifully making it a very decorative stained glass window. The addition of the cathedral ceiling adds even more to that inspiration and fits the design perfectly to resemble the center dome of an ornate roof carving. The shading in the blue sections almost give a sense of the sunlight gleaming through the glass!

The corresponding prize will be sent shortly!

Thank you, my friend.
Actually, the shading of the clear (blue) glass was obtained by making those windows transparent, then using a background image of sky. I'm glad that the sunlight managed to filter its way through so effectively. :-)

I've not had anyone guess which cathedral it was - I used Nice cathedral.

Here, I'll give you this one to upvote/resteem... Another fun challenge that everyone should know about!

I did try and search through images of ceilings from cathedrals and couldnt find one that matched, I never would of guessed that one!

[viking-ventures]

Well, I'm glad someone looked, lol. :-)
Not many in England have that rounded dome - only St. Paul's, I think...
I wasn't being all the fussy, actually - it just needed a clear vertical shot that would fit the round stencil. As it was, this photo had to be squashed slightly, but it worked.
