A top pick for me - I love this look. So clean and the stacked, rounded triangles are perfect for the challenge. Congratulations on the HM.

Beautiful space, fascinating to explore - it would take forever to do even adequately. And a terrific presentation of it. Congratulations on the Red.

Likewise. I would definitely have entered something else than what I did.
I do think the winning image fits either interpretation of Extended well, but I was actually surprised that Mark's image did so well (sorry, Mark - I think it deserved the placing, but it DID surprise me). I went for something much more pedantic and pretty much got creamed (not sorry I gave it a try, though).

This is gorgeous, though, and as Shannon and Sandy said and Anita seconded . . . the masking is quite remarkable. Congratulations on the top five.

This wonderful - I'm a little surprised it didn't finish higher but congratulations on the HM, Jane.

Thanks much for the comments and votes. Not quite square, Anita - 4:5 ratio. I do actually have a square one. I favor 2:3 or wider for landscape, too, but in this case the "stuff" on the left is regrettable and on the right it's just empty field. I tried and tried for a composition that felt balanced and was wider, but couldn't find one.
