Great composition, lighting and story. The color gradient works very well and feels natural. Almost like it's flowing through the image. The frame is very cinematic and those characters add a storytelling aspect. It makes you wonder, why are those people moving into something that is so terrifying. It has a great vibe and everything is pretty much perfectly executed.

This image really stood out. It's perfectly executed and so imaginative! We all really loved it. On the one hand it's a typical archviz but also it has this relatable character, funny story and all those Easter eggs lying around. So much creativity and effort must have gone into it. Just finding the type face of the Ikea and all the details that go along. It not only extremelt well done, but also a pleasure to watch. Just amazing.

Amazing concept. It reinvents the architecture in a way that's super fun, super playful, and super strong. The bridge, the people, tha boats - it all make up an interesting story. Both the idea and execution are extremely powerful. The backlighting is not just aesthetically pleasing, it also helps bring out strict shapes of characters and objects. With this kind of lighting the concept is very easy to read. Definitely a very, very good image.

This image can be a dream or it can be a nightmare. In terms of the mood, it's creepy, terrifying, weird and dreamy at the same time. And definitely mesmerizing. It feels completely different every single time you look at it. On top of that the artist used assets so creatively and it makes this image stand out from the croud. That's for sure.5th Place:

This is a super strong, stunning image. It has strong forms as a whole, but yet you can see all this details and the rim lights and the body posture. This classic frame and cathedral-like pillars bring to mind final scenes from a game or epic movie. It's executed perfectly and the lighting here is simply beautiful.
