Very good image for this challenge. I would have preferred a more natural look to the bg, but I understand the lure of the expert editing allowances.

Really great photography. Love the b&w. I hate the black fill-in border top and bottom, but still gave you the top score on this. Hope it ribbons.

My pick for the blue ribbon. Beautiful and sexy. Nice dog, too. Good comic element. Fits the challenge well.

Beautiful landscape photography. The person in the frame lends scale. It's a glorious sky, well processed and natural. One of my top picks for this challenge... because it's excellent photography.

Thanks very much. Your comments mean a lot to me. Yeah, I knew the answer before I posted. LOL!!!!

Well done. Very ancient and very futuristic. I think the Alien series used this creature for inspiration. Nice processing to meet the demands of the voters.

Airplane traversed the sky from Northwest to East. Probably heading for Denver International, which is 80 miles away. I watched the plane hit air turbulence... common over the front range of the Rockies. My Gitzo tripod has a center pole with a convenient hook at the bottom. I hang my camera bag on that hook to weigh down the tripod. It was a night of periodic gusty winds.
