All the portraits above are amazing catches. Tough category, but my Daughter went with my wife and I to the car show... so I had a cute model to help the car shots. This was my favorite o her.

Great set of images everyone! My picks for the photo of the week are...

Portrait winner is Synchronized Swimming by Stephen. The timing, focus, and being in the right place at the right time worked for this one. Nick and Joel were definitely a close second.

Stephen also takes the landscape category with Lombard Street at Night. I am a big fan of night photography and he captured that one well. I really liked John's promise of spring, but Stephen got the edge.
