Underwater pics are hard to pull off, in fact there are a few in this challenge that don't manage it. The title and content really work for this shot however as it really does look like the manta are flying.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

I can't begin to think how tough it must be to photograph lightning and get the rest of the short properly exposed. I think I would have scored this higher still if there was some more detail readily available on the water and in the front of the clouds. Nonethless, I love the colour hues and energy in this shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

This looks like a snail! I love the textures and almost powdery feel of the stone. Nice muted colour palatte but nicely saturated. Perfect focal point and depth of field. Good vision.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Is it the same location as the Horseshoe bend photos in the challenge from a different angle? Sure looks like it. I really like the alternative perspective, and the title says it all. Great depth of field, and the colours nice and rich. Good shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

There is something about celestial photography that I find awe-inspiring. It has intrigued my since I was very young, reading glossy books that were an Atlas of the skies, with fantastic astronomical images. I don't believe that this is the best celestial image of the challenge (one of my 10's went to the Cone and a Hidden Fox), but nonetheless, it's still an excellent and inspiring image.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Interesting perspective, I love the symmetry that the reflection provides, effectively in both directions. I would have scored this higher if there was a bit of colour/detail on the trees rather than them being silhoutted, but nonetheless a great shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

I love the really deep rich blue and green in this shot which counter each other really well. The symmetry of the shoreline is pleasing, and the shy gives just enough light to lift the image from murky obscurity. Nicely shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots of sunset and pier pictures in this challenge but this is one of the better ones. Nice lead in lines, good use of thirds, and a nice dark brooding sky, lit from below. The water has a nice sheen to it too. A nice shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots of macro shots in this challenge, but this is one of the stand out ones to me (especially as it's without bugs!) The clarity and definition are in just the right place, the colour palatte is perfect, and I love the wispy dreaminess of the seed heads. A great shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

There are quite a few high vantage point cityscapes in this challenge, but this one appeals to me beacuse of the warmth provided by the sunset off camera. There is a slight fuzziness to this image which prevents me from scoring it higher, but nonetheless, a nice image.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.
