Sonic Art Installation. -----There are many fine entries for this week's challenge so not too likely, but DON'T pick mine, as I will be AFK and Internet for the week. (Unable to RSVP and choose if necessary)

okay....

DANGGIT!!! im never entering again, if i have to judge this many outstanding entries!

a well populated challenge with amazing images...

3rd runner up
HappyGav. i love the style of the classic cars with their individual gauges and those are certainly some chrome-y circles

2nd runner up
RDWP. this fella looks very content to be 'stuck' on us.

1st runner up
dilorenzo1954. you are 100% correct that orbs are indeed 3D circles and i love the colors presented. i was leaning towards this one from the day it was posted.

Winner
Timphoto. i love the BW treatment. the two folks taking different directions to what appears to be the same destination, but also people just going around in circles is how im feeling right now in life. the added bonus of circular columns, circular benches and floor details pushed this to the top

honorable mention to
OldCrow and TerryPink (since Terry didnt want her submission included in judging and also a nod to Eidelweiss for the subtlety of his ripples and Jerry-R for his "race" circles and SierraCharlie338 in ROUNDING up the longhorns.

this was probably the hardest challenge ive ever had to judge. great submissions and thank you all for playing!

Timphoto, youre up!!!

Congratulations to all the participants this past week! We had an excellent turnout with varied and interesting entries.

I thought for certain either Ed or HappyGav would win this week.

Lt - thanks (I think) for selecting me winner. I know what you mean, judging is not for the faint of heart.

Next week's challenge: #722 Mist Fog Smoke

I don't envy you having to judge this challenge, Dave! Superb entries and a shout out to Tim for the win
Thanks for the "1st runner up" mention as well.

Nice job to those that entered. Hopefully I’ll have my new set up before the next competition is over, I enjoy these.

Congratulations Tim, great image.

Well done TerryPink. Like the colors,

A nice batch of photos this week. Well done all.
