The flower is beautiful and your capture of it is terrific. I know there's been a lot of experimentation in the side challenges with overlays and borders. This one is well executed, but I can't help but wonder if the photo would have been better with a border that grabbed less attention, competed less with the subject, and let the beauty of the subject carry it. I'm unsure about how I feel. Beautiful entry well captured and presented.

Terrific photo. It always amazes me how a great photo captures the emotion and spirit of a subject as this does. The 1,000 yard stare helps of course. But so does the presentation. Well done!

I've been here and shot this landmark from many perspectives. But your photo is about the best I've seen of Eilean Donan. Thanks for the great photo ... and for the nostalgia trip.

B&W contributes substantially to the feeling of depth and texture here. Well done!

Okay, I'm a sucker for powerful jets, ... and for condensation over the control surfaces, ... and for unusual attitudes. I'm also a sucker for a well composed, shot, and presented photo. You're 3 for 3 on that score. Well done!

The beautiful contrast and largely B&W presentation are wonderfully presented. Composition is superb. I love that it's an out of the box entry ... creative! Among best in show.

There was a similar photo recently that I quite liked but I believe this B&W is even better. Among best of show.

Reflections of New York

This sort of photo has been done many times, but never better. The tilted composition is perfect. The colors, clarity, reflections, and overall composition are first rate. Among best in show.
