Hear no Evil

Love the emotion on this chimps face - to me the expression speaks of slight annoyance with whatever/whoever is 'making noise'. As such the moment captured here shows the fingers in the ears to block it out...indeed the title "Hear No Evil" suits this perfectly.

Serendipitous moments are the best! Well seen and captured! Love how the lighthouse shines it's beacon to 'guide' the light of the moon.

Discovery

Congrats on the blue Pam! Indeed the wonderment of children are treasured moments - love the golden light that illuminates his moment of discovery. I also love the details of the concentric rings in the water that radiate out from your son - it makes me think of the phrase I have heard that "children are the center of your universe."

Congrats on the 5th place finish Nikki! The red door really contrasts wonderfully with the blues. Good behind the scenes story which illustrates the point of 'always have your camera ready':-)

Gorgeous work here Johanna! Love the composition and lighting on this portrait for it does invoke the look & feel of the past masters of Renaissance paintings. Congrats on your top 5 finish!

Ascension / Descension

Great composition and detail in this pattern architecture shot of the stairwell. I like what the fisheye lens does for the composition because it curves the normally straight edge objects it makes the imagery flow smoother in a swirl/whirlpool direction down towards the bottom floor.

Just read your description on how you achieved the shot - running to activate the lights on the floors, now that is photographic lighting that provides not just light but a full workout:-)! Congrats on the Blue!
