My entries for this week will be two recent shots from a vacation trip last week. We spent several lazy days at the seaside and while the rest of the family were reading I was looking for photo opportunities.

My entry for the landscape category will be one of many sunset shots from the trip (the place is made for sunset shooting):

"Sunset rocks"


For the portrait category I selected a shot of a juvenile black-headed gull that was hanging around at the same spot along the shoreline as we.

"Not yet black-headed"


Thanks for viewing!

Here's a portrait I'll throw into the mix. I got a candid shot of my girlfriend's father at the beach today.
"Kinda Smiling"

And here is another landscape one before the deadline. I am going to call this one "Brave" because that's what I was called when bringing my 5D3 out on the water with me.

We'll close it here and let Jonathan get started with the judging.

Wow these are all terrific... I'm really glad the entry period is just one week long, otherwise there would be far too many excellent photos to choose from. I picked two black & white photos as the winners: In the portrait category, Brian's "Sunday Staredown", for the eye-catching pose, highlights, and bokeh. It's a unique shot that makes you stop and stare right back. And in the landscape category, I picked Brant's "Still Standing", for the leading lines, strong lighting, contrast, and story-telling composition. Awesome job everyone, and thanks so much for the honour of being this week's judge!
