Philadelphia Water Works and Art Museum

Nice turnout! I'm happy to have a variety to judge.

RDWP- Basilica Cathedral...Superb vertical pano, lots of ornate details and terrific lighting. Well done Rob!

Stiga- Gleneagles Hotel...Nice, but kinda distracted by the foreground and half-hidden person there. Good try Martin.

OldCrow- The Biltmore...Iconic estate that I'd love to tour. I wish the shuttle bus wouldn't be there though. well done nonetheless Don.

Jerry-R- Opryland Hotel...This one looks like a nostalgic postcard from a gift shop. Nice Jerry!

Ltdave- Frederikborg Slot...Wow! very imposing structure! I wish the perspective was corrected so the towers wouldn't lean so much, but very nice Dave!

rwmson- Philadephia Water Works... I love the composition and the lighting, it reminds me of the grecian hills. Well done Roger!

This was a tough one to judge, but ultimately I keep going back to RDWP's Basilica panorama. It's a candy store of color and detail!
Philly Water Works and Art Museum was a close second.

Thanks to all for participating and congratulations to Rob and Roger!

What do you have for us next Rob?

Congratulations Rob ... VERY nicely snapped and processed!

Thank you Ed! Appreciate the nod, especially considering how good all of these photos are, and how interesting the subjects. Of these, have only been to Frederikborg (where is NixEre?) but maybe when I get moving again ... .

Next challenge will be linked here very shortly.
