There were wonderful contributions to this competition, needless to say it was very difficult to choose the winning picture. Before the declaration of the top 3 images, I'd like to mention some works I really appreciate:

R_Kartz – Interesting composition, excellent perspective and fast response are all key components in this somewhat gloomy but beautiful image.


Ken Zaret – Magical scene caught in the dreamy light of Edinburgh.


Yulia Smirnova – Rationalistic discussions in Saigon. Wonderful.


Bartosz Kotulski - Two cute Asian kids caught in a magical moment. it seems that their thoughts were captured along with their actions.



And for the finalists:

3rd place - Sandi Whitteker - Nature vs. human nature... Funny little moment, excellent photo.


2nd place - El_vampiro - Funny, bizarre, almost unreal. A truly remarkable blink-and-miss scene.


1st place - Chris Pavona - Sadness, joy, concern, optimism - all these feelings rise when looking at this outstanding capture. Little moment, big picture. Well done!

Loved this S&T theme, congrats to all winners!

Hands down Chris Pavona takes it!!! No arguement there at all. Superb job, congrats to all.

I feel very honored to receive third place among so many wonderful pics in this competition. Thanks! I would not have wanted to narrow down the field out of so many great "moments". Congrats to Chris for the most precious winning moment. Excellent topic and entries. Sandi

Thank you so much for selecting my photo!!! I hope it isn't cliché but to be even in the same group as some of the other folks... Sandi W., I've seen many of her fantastic photos in past competitions- to be in that caliber is a great honor!

I'm on vacation right now, so I apologize for the delay in getting around to this, but Mallorca is just too beautiful! New topic incoming in a few minutes.
