My selections for this week are:

Portrait: Pat "Snowy Owl". I know this was the only portrait submitted this week, possibly because nobody else wanted to go up against such a great shot. Whatever the reason, it's a worthy contender for the next monthly final.

Landscape: Brant "Palouse Falls at Sunrise". This was a more difficult decision but I selected Brant's shot because I've never seen anything like that before. It's well exposed from corner to corner and the composition with the rising sun works really well.

As usual, I enjoyed looking at all the entries. Thanks for your participation.
