Many thanks for remarkable entries.
I did not realize until today, how hard is the process of judging.
I was especially mindful of the fact that the person judging also gets judged in the process of picking the winning entries.
Here are some honourable mentions in no particular order.

This is a lovely shot by Markus. The alley and stairs well framed by the Arch. Love the angle and light control.

A beautiful picture by John, considering the issue of dealing with dynamic range here. A great angle and depth here.

Very nicely done. This image by LUXUN 54 of a Venezia alley comes out well with reflections and the bridge at the end.

Very well done Terry. You really caught the twilight sky and the night lights remarkably with long exposure and DOF.

Beautiful shot by Robin that got my attention right away.



THIRD PLACE WINNER

A beautiful shot by John of this Chicago alley. Great angle and DOF here. The HDR works extremely well here.
Congratulations John on this beautiful entry.


SECOND PLACE WINNER

Congratulations Chris on this beautiful image of Lucca with a great depth, shot at f20 and very appropriately processed.
The color, angle, light all add wonderfully. It definitely evokes a feeling. I just wish it was a bit bigger.

FIRST PLACE WINNER

This photograph by Marisa is my favorite. It is brilliantly composed.
It makes me feel as if I am there with the walls rubbing against my shoulder.
The brilliant color and reflections are I guess a result of masterfully handled exposure and metering.
It is hard to get an eyeful of this photograph in one glance.
Congratulations Marisa.

I'm very happy, VJ, that you have liked this photo of mine. Actually it's a photo I took a few years ago and it's connected with many pleasant memories for me.
I deeply appreciated the topic you chose for this contest; it's one of my favourite photographic subjects.
I have deeply enjoyed seeing the nearly all extremely good photos which have been posted here by my fellow Pbasers.
Unfortunately I cannot host the next contest, even though I had a few ideas for the theme I'd had suggested.
I have already written an email to Emily to ask her to pass the ball to the second-place winner.
By the way, Chris, I like immensely your golden view of Lucca. A small town I know well and I like not only from the photographic point of view.
The matter is that I'll leave on holiday next Tuesday and I won't be back before 12 days, so I cannot host the contest respecting the due timing.
I'm sorry.
My congratulations to all and have fun with the next contest.

Best
Marisa
