Thanks for viewing.

Well, this was a tough one. I appreciate Karsaa's Lake Reflection, but I feel like it needs a foreground element. I like Tounis's mountain, but I feel like it's a forced "rule-of-2/3s", and I want more of the foreground elements leading to/highlighting the mountain. Dave's bald eagle framing makes him look majestic, but the abundance of in-focus branches are somewhat distracting (although they do balance out the image a bit).

In the end, I'm going with cls's "Anemone Hepatica." I liked the image's dreaminess, yet the in-focus elements are sharp and stand out well. And for what it's worth, cls's "By the Sea" was a close second or third, as I really liked the human element in the scene.

Congrats Claes!

awesome job Claes
