Thanks everyone! For those who hated my "gilded frame" (I was emulating a Rembrandt, and that's how I usually see them displayed) I have almost completely toned-down the inner border for the print version, trying to leave just a hint of gradient to suggest an element of three-dimensionality.

Congratulations -- I had no idea what this was before I read your notes. If I'd known the voters would go for something colorful I might have submitted the alternate edit of my own entry.

I like how the umbrella blends into the sign art -- very 1960s-ish ... :-)

Does that say "clean beach"?

Christmas Eclipse

This came out nice even without the eclipse -- like the combination of lit-up and silhouetted trees in the foreground.

Moonset in NIR

Very nice -- where I was it was lost in haze before it got close to the horizon, but after it reached totality.

Your caption reminds me of one of my favorite jokes ... :-)

Feels like looking out from behind a waterfall -- nice effect.

Beutiful view -- interesting how the bridge stays and the building on the left have almost the same outline -- do you know if that was deliberate?

The USS Carl Vinson Sails

Congratulations!!!

Really like how the mist at the waterline gives it a very ghostly look, appropriate for the subject IMO. I'd be curious to see this in grayscale, without the bright blue bit of sky ... perhaps even darkening it -- moving in the direction of the noir look. With a vertical crop I can see it as a WW II movie poster ...
