Haha, great work, I love the attention to details (like the simulated compression on the ball). Very, very glad your creativity and hard work got awarded. Congrats :-)

As many, I saw the place on the news, but your shot really makes it impressive, especially in the larger resolution version. The long exposure was a perfect choice here. Congratulations on the top 5!

Across The Sky

What an angle! I wonder if this is a (very) lucky shot, or rather if you planned everything, from the moon position to the plane route? In any case, it is quite impressive. Congratulations on the nice finish!

ETA: Just saw your notes, and all I can say is that you had the appropriate instinct at the appropriate moment. Not the kind of shot you could comfortably do and redo in your studio. Great job!

What I like the most in your shot is the contrast between the dark grey water and the colorful horizon, it really gives it an interesting mood. Congratulations on your ribbon!

Congratulations Irene! I knew your entry would win, and I also knew taking that shot was much harder than it looked... I had no idea I was THAT right! Very happy you didn't give up.

Originally posted by LevT: congratulations Christophe, a strong image as usual. The only thing that IMO lets it down a little bit are the overexposed windows in the b/g... probably would've work better against some kind of windowless corner...

Thanks a lot Lev. In fact in the original photos the windows are not overexposed, I added the strong white light in post, I thought it would add some atmosphere and drama. I'll think twice next time!

A meme can be a sentence, and "The cake is a lie" is a meme, according to Wikipedia. I illustrated it in my own way. The challenge description did not mention that the meme had to be a visual one.

So I am wondering if I'd had the time to make it to your place on that weekend I was nearby, might I have gotten a sample of this delicious cake- in addition to having the pleasure of meeting your wife? ;) Still, very glad we got to meet for a short while in Paris and hope we can visit again next time I am over there :)

Thanks Brent. Yes it was great fun to meet! However, at the time, I had no idea of what to shoot, so the cake was not there yet. I'm sure we'll find another occasion, the world's such a tiny place nowadays!
