Oh my, what a week to pick just one!

First the birds. Technically spot on, and clearly effort was needed to get the owl and the woodpecker into camera range.

Next the granddaughter, with a great use of toning instead of full color or simple B&W.

Then four waterscapes-plus. All fine images. For better or worse, I would have cropped a little differently for Lonely Log, Senter Falls, and the Pinetree.

The two images that keep drawing me back are Reflections and Granddaughter. I think both are winners. But one must be chosen.

Congratulations, clemmb for Granddaughter!

Good choice .... I kinda figured that one would be tough to beat!

Congrats ClemmB !!

Congrats Mark and excellent choice.

Ditto that! I don't feel bad at all losing to entries like this --- they are all spectacular.

Congrats Mark, great portrait!

Indeed awesome portrait!

Wow, awesome. I can't believe with all the fantastic images here.
Thanks :)
