I thought this topic might be easier to judge - NOT SO ! As always a real struggle and after bringing down all the ones I liked to 21 - I still had to eliminate images that I really liked.
One comment I would like to make is that I hope pbase sorts out the problem of some images not coming up - it is so easy to miss them and when scanning through all the entries 100 times, again they get missed.
The entries I have chosen are ones that made a big impact on me and the ones that I filtered out were ones that I found something to criticize. Something I really enjoy with these competitions is analyzing what one likes or dislikes and it becomes a huge learning curve. Said enough !!!

Honourable mentions:
Danzap - A thought provoking shot - reminds me of people passing by someone hurt on the road. A great capture.


chungsp - a beautifully composed shot with the figure looking lonely and alone.


sandiwhi - this shot gives me the feeling of me being the lonely, solitary one. Magical view of this quiet beautiful coast line.


bclaypole - I like the composition and mood of this shot - the serious young man with his ball in a beautiful setting.


3rd place: atucker. I've woken up at night thinking of this shot ! Alone in a crowd ! And, the crowd looks quite strange - an unusual and stirring image.


2nd place: heffa. I love the full size version of this shot - it really has a "space" aspect - alone with the world !!


1st place jcdefreitas' Wasaga Beach So lovely in its simplicity and meets the theme beautifully


Congratulations John

I thought I followed the instructions to the "t" - but in getting up the images, I think I have mucked up the process :(

I've received a message from John saying he's away and unable to run the competition - so it's going to be up to you Jeff (heffa). Pbase is going to arrange the change.

Gill, did John know he would not be able to host the contest if he won?

I've no idea - I just sent him a message asking him where he was and he replied "in Europe".
