OK, here we go with this weeks winner and runners ups. As always there were some great entries. I'm always amazed at the creativity of people. First the honorable mentions in no particular order:

From the first time I saw this one it stuck in my head(no pun intended). Didn't really have the unique perspective aspect I was looking for but a cool juxtaposition.


I love these hall of columns type images. There were a couple entries but this one had the more intresting lighting.


This was a cool one. Very intimidating.


The look up the tree trunk theme isn't unique but this one was well executed and the sun peeping through adds an element to it.


And the winners are:

Third place. I've tried several times myself and failed to pull of a similar composition. The mountain BG puts context around this tiny alpine bloom. Nicely done.


Second place. This one caught my attention right off the bat. Great eye seeing the potential of this scene and then capturing it.


And finally, first place and the official passing of the baton goes to Arnie Petersmidt and presumably the family dogs. Maybe you have to be a dog lover to appreciate this one but hey, the contest isn't about mass appeal, it only has to appeal to the judge, right? This one combined the element of a unique compositional perspective with the juxtaposition of the second dog in the BG. And it captures a moment of true bliss. Congrats, Arnie, you take it from here...

Congratulations to Arnie and all of the winners! Nice contest and interesting entries!

Dan Thanks very much for 2nd place!

Cheers,

Terry

Great topic, Dan, and exellent choice for the winner. It's what I call a two-fer - great perspective, and a couple of so cute pups. Congrats to the winners, and thanks so much for the honorable mention. And yes, the military jets are very intimidating, especially as they roar by, just feet over your head, at the Mira Mar Air Show!

Congratulations Arnie, And congrats to all the winners and runner ups in the contest! It was an interesting topic!

Thank you so much Dan, you have more than made my day. Thank you to all the other entrants, it is your great photogaphy that makes this an honor for me.

Arnie

Thanks to everyone that entered the last contest. I enjoy entering these and it is cool to win one considering the quality of images here, but judging really bites. It is REALLY hard to decide among so many good photos. So good luck with it Arnie. Pick a good topic and get ready for plenty of mental hand wringing when it comes time to pick the winners.

hey hey Arn!

Good job and congratulations. We both made the top picks...
