2014 Image of the Week #5 & 6

[Kayaker72]

This entry period will be from Monday January 27th to Sunday February 2nd for Week 5 and Monday February 3rd through Sunday February 9th for Week 6.

Only two categories of images will be judged:

1. Portraits -- Anything with eyes; people or animals
2. Landscape -- Country, town, city, sea, abstract, things (water drops, smoke, flowers, candles, and so on)

Each category will have a single winner each week. This week will be judged by David (DavidWare)

Please supply a title for your image and which category it is entering. Enter as many times as you would like, old or new images.

Good luck!

Anyone object to just rolling this into a combined thread for weeks 5 & 6 with David the judge for both? Feel free to post or PM me if you do object. Otherwise, later today, I'll modify the post.

Thanks,
Brant

Sounds like a plan (by the way - I changed the title to reflect the combined weekly contest).

OK with me!

A male bluebird portrait from Feb 1st.

So I will be making my decision next Sunday then? And still just two pictures or do I have to pick 4 now?

[Sean Setters]

You'd be judging all the pictures that get submitted to this thread up through Sunday. Maybe you could judge them Sunday night? Or Monday sometime?

Sorry everyone, I got busy today and didn't keep up with the thread. I know this is a reversal in my thought process, but in the interest of fairness, I recommend that Jayson's excellent "Hoarfrost" be the Week 5 Landscape winner, as no portrait was entered, there will not be a Week 5 portrait winner. Then we can keep using this thread going forward for Week 6 with DavidWare selecting a single portrait and a single landscape winner from this thread entered from February 3rd through February 9th. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks
Brant
