As you could imagine, this has been a very difficult contest to judge. There were so many images that could have made either the top three or the HM list but I had to choose so here they are:

HM's in no particular order:


Dennis Camp's "Straight Up"


Walter's "Night Sparks"


Walter's "Dawn in San Diego"


Terry's "Gurudwara Bangla Sahib"

Now for the top three:

3rd Place

The detail from the foreground all the way back to the cliffs is spot on. The long exposure brings life to this image by giving a sense of motion to the water. Great job Marcel!

2nd Place

Arnie's "Shell at Night". I really like the way the longer exposure creates steam motion in this industrial night landscape.

1st Place

Terry's "Navy Pier Ferris Wheel" captured everything I would want in a long exposure. The motion, lighting and composition brought me back to this image over and over again. Great job Terry!!

Many thanks for the two HM's. Good choice of subject and winners.

Best Wishes for a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year!

Walter

Many thanks for the HM, and congrats to the winners, it was a good choice for theme.

Thank you very much Jim for second place and congratulations to Terry. The theme attracted strong entries and I spent quite a bit of time looking at the other photographs submitted.
