I'm glad you showed your entry in colour - I was wondering what it looks like when I saw it in the challenge
- and it's just great!

The Photographer

Comment:
You made a good choice - to pick a picture that is winning hearts!
Most of us can identify ourselves with this photographer, whose pose is a mixture between dedication and whimsicality...and the moment the flash fired is captured perfectly!

I love your choice - this picture was a highlight in the challenge, not only superb quality but also a whole lot of humor! Thank you for a good laugh!

City of dreams

What a stunning view! I don't mind the distortion of the skyscrapers - I just adore the combination of warm colours of traffic and the blue of the buildings. A beautiful picture!
I booked flights to Dubai for next March (my first time) - maybe I can ask you for some advice some time?

Chasing

This is my favourite in this challenge- I just love how it is perfectly balanced between movement and tranquility.

Woo-hoo! 2000th Challenge - a reason to shoot a firework rocket

Woo-hoo once more! My first ribbon!
I can't believe it - thank you so much, dpc-voters!!!!

Since I reckoned without doing so well in this challenge I didn't offer an explanation in photographer's comments, which I really do regret now (and I don't know if and how I can add a comment subsequently, sorry). But here it is:

This image was taken August 2008, while a summer festival firework took place at the Olympic site in Munich/Germany. I knew about the firework and went up to the television tower observation deck next to the olympic stadion several hours before it was supposed to happen, positioned my camera on a tripod and waited for the sky rockets (@ melethia: no drone ;-) - can't afford it!)
Really happy that my plan worked out!

What a perfekt start in my day (it's about seven in the morning where I live)! I wish you also a great day!

gorgeous shot - the upper left corner is somewhat distracting though... a liitle warping would make it even better

this would have been perfect for the shadows challenge!

the shadow makes a creepy tool out of an every day item - well executed!

I like the style of this pic: elegant, glamorous and yet isolated
