It's Monday where I am, barely, and I have a stupidly busy day ahead, so I'm posting a bit early. Hopefully nobody on the West Coast had a last minute image planned... there's always next week!

I like Kayaker's "Warm Thoughts". It's going down -35C here this morning, which makes this picture very inviting, and I imagine a lot of us are wishing we were there. As inviting as this picture is, no, it's not my selection.

Everyone knows I'm a sucker for shots of our furry friends, and DavidWare's "Rat the Cat" shot is really nice. I like to color combo, the eye detail, the catchlights, and the merle-y nose... but it's not my choice either.


The extra effort put into Kombi's "Retro Life" shot puts it on top. Nicely setup, and the aged yellow tinted image with some vignetting all add to the retro feel.



Congrats Kombi!


And finally, welcome Geek. I like your shot too. Very saturated, which can be a tricky look to pull off nicely. I'm curious... Is that just the top of that plant, or is that down at ground level? It looks like there might be blades of grass just the to left of the main plant, which would put this down near ground level... and that makes me wonder what's up with the barbed trip-wire?
