Love the flowing rainbow colours in this and it really does resemble a planet with how it is captured. The black background really sets it off nicely as well.

The expression on the face of the dog is absolutely priceless.

Comment:
Then again, Gumby's right hand is in a most interesting position relative to the bubbles. Good for a laugh and Barbie looks quite different with a celebrity tan.

A bursting bubble in The Geysir, Strokkur

Comment:
The blue tones of the geyser bubble are quite beautiful against the dark and steamy natural landscape. The sky reflections in the waterpools adds wonderful textures to this shot as well. An interesting take on the challenge interpretation.

I love the intensity and awareness of this beautiful Tiger's stare. In this face is the emotion of the wild primeval predator. Eloquent capture.

Awesome reds and yellows in this beautiful close-up. It reminds me of a natural eye opening and keeping watch over Mortality.

Galloping through powder snow

This captures the unbounded sense of Freedom and Joy found by the wild and domesticated creatures in Nature. The black and white fits this perfectly and the snowy ripples are delightful - kick up your heels and dance!

Fountains Abbey

The crisp white soft snow gives these ruins a quiet sense of winter peace. I like the rillet as the vertical lines echo the distant architecture. The even sky provides a reflective grey illumination to light most of the capture but the woods on the left are dark.

East Coast Lighthouse
by KarenNfld

Comment:
The stark black and white tones are perfect for encapsulating the isolated loneliness of this lighthouse on the bluff. It brings out the jagged textures of the rock and gives focus to the clapboard white wood of the building in contrast with the smooth wooden fencing. The sky is lowering and mimics the sea below. This looks old and historic and very well preserved.
