Lovely view of Japan and the mountains. The conifer glade in the midst of the Acers makes this image rich. 9.

Welcome to the North Pole

You have my number 1 vote for this contest; my only 10. Certainly the image is better for the sake of having no text. But overall it is a very seasonal view and exquisitely beautiful. In Iceland you certainly have some lovely vistas. But even better, there are some talented photographers to relay them to those of us who are too far away to see them first hand. Well done and season's greetings.

Starkly outstanding. I came back for another look after the challenge. I think the softer images seduced my votes at the time but it is the character of your photo, harsh as it is to me, that draws me back. It's enduring.

Nice point of view especially since the student's head is to the grindstone - pointed at the book. Although a daydreamer would also have worked.
