the lovely purity of the big forms is diminished by the busy little tower.

Lights in the dark

Lovely shot. The shooting star is off the reflection. Look at the double star in line with the top to the right of the mountaintop; it is below the shooting star and at it's reflection is at the lake's edge. The shooting star's reflection would be in rocks of the shoreline.

There were about three photographers I though of when this challenge came up, and since Zeuszen did not enter, I got 2 of 3. Yay voters.

It is a rare thing for me to get exactly the shot I wanted without doing a setup. This image is exactly what I hoped to get and the eye contact was a bonus.

I really would have liked to know why this was worthy of a 1. Hint, the bicycle is in the center, in front of the trees if you missed it.

I throw in crap just to have an entry and it scores well. But this bombs. Sigh.

I think I love your wife. Not to suggest you could not do such great work without her, but you must be a great guy to have her go the distance for your images.

Plus "The Cake is a Lie" is a favorite of mine, second only to " I Took an Arrow in the Knee"

The lowe half of this image is lovely, but the curtain seems to be the star, taking up most of the image, but does not add much.

A powerful sense of emotion, coupled with a jarring framing and post processing make this my favorite of the challenge.
