Alrighty.

Sean's "Amanda on the beach" is pretty darn good, but... the portrait winner goes to Jayson's "Feed Me". Colourful, perfect DOF, unique, hard to capture subject.

Landscapes are much harder for me to judge... my main criteria is "would I expect to see this hanging on a wall". If Kayaker happened to be at Big Sur on a nicer day, it would be a fantastic shot... but I don't want a gloomy day picture on my wall. jrw's "Laurel Creek" is picturesque, but missing something to make it stand out. Sean's "Panama City Beach in IR" has a nice viewpoint, and a unique super high-contrast look. I could imagine it hanging on a wall somewhere artsy. Sean takes the landscape.

Thanks David and congrats Sean! I like your judging criteria for landscapes.

I'm going to stop taking pictures of people. Landscapes are workin' for me. :-)

Congrats Jayson! Thanks David!

Sean, your portrait skills are still working for you... you found a way to use a light-modifier on the sun.
