Winners Show & Tell Photo Contest #8

I know that it was already said by the other contest hosts, but anyway - it *was* extremely difficult to choose just the three winning photos. Maybe in future we could have several people judging, or make a poll for all the participants?
The contest thread is here: http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=21242

The winners:

The third place - Stephen - sdwinsor with First Snow
For composition, perspective, color and of course for the bridge.

The second place - Peter - pse with New York
Bold use of symmetry worked perfectly here. And it has the feelling of an open gate to working NY.

The first place - Bryan - bruyn32 with Whatcom Falls
I love the composition. The back-side light, deep shadows, strong highlights with lush greenery and filtering light create an atmosphere of mystery. I want to cross that bridge.

Congratulations to all the winners! Now it is Bryan's turn to chose subject of the next contest.

Thanks to all the participants. Many of the photos not mentioned here where simply outstanding. But I could choose only three...

Congratulations to the top 3 and a well done to all. It must have been difficult to choose as there were many worthy shots.

Any word on the new category? I also like your idea of making a poll for all the participants? I think that would be pretty cool, but i think it would be hard to keep up with.

nice picks across the board, or should I say bridge! And I totally agree, I want to head out and cross that bridge right now!

Thanks guys! There were some great shots to choose from and I'm glad you enjoyed my effort.

Sorry for the delay. I've been swamped at work AND my desktop crashed! I'll get on the new topic post haste!

Edit: This week's category is "Water": http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?p=124851 (This is a new post and a re-start of Contest #9 due to the previous thread breaking).

Bruyn32, maybe you should start the thread again?
