Hey everyone - Great submissions this week. The wide variety of subject matter makes this especially fun for me! Can I call this a tie?? I can't decide between Kari's "Reflections" shot and "Good Morning" by cls. Kari's shot is a real stunner, one that I can gaze at for a long time. Plus it is technically excellent, which makes it all the more compelling. The "Good Morning" shot by cls is a great composition, helped by both advance planning and obviously a healthy stroke of good luck. If I have just one minor quibble is that I think it would possibly look better as more of a panoramic crop (i.e. take away a bit of the water and perhaps some of the sky). But that's just one viewer's opinion.

Meanwhile, I appreciate all of you who are keeping this thread alive and vibrant while some of us (like me) are distracted by other things. I do need to pick up my camera again and do something with it!

Thanks for inviting me to be a judge, and congrats to Kari and cls!
