Ok, posting's done. I'll get back to you before I go to sleep. That's a promise. This is gonna be hard.

Ok, here goes. All were great submissions, and I had alot of candiates to win.

Goincarcrazy: A very nice shot. Great sky, greater reflection and a nice use of the RoT. Well done.
Airfrogusmc: Another great shot. I like the subject and the lit doorway in the BG really adds to the image.
Mikerault: It's a great scene and sky, but the use of flash hurts the shot. The lighting is very...blunt I guess would be the best word.
Fredlef: It's a great, almost surreal photo. Well done. But the PP job doesn't do the shot justice.
Flo: [Insert what I said for Goincarcrazy, minus the reflection part] . Very nice job.
Airbutchie: This is, yet another, awsome shot. I really like the sky/clouds, but what I enjoy the most is the different levels/areas of lighting. Nice job.
Flashstan: Cool subject and well done getting a good exposure for both the balloons and people. Looks like fun.
Genodm: Trippy shot. A nice sky/sillouette photo. Well done.
Flyingphotog: Great sky and composition. And the PP work makes it seem like a dream. Very nice work.
Atrasher: Not very much going on here. The small bit of color you can see is diminished by the light poles.
Paintmblak: Awsome light-through-the-clouds shot. Perfect execution. But the branches in the corner are a bit distracting.
LWDail: Funny scene, and the sun looks great coming over the water. Well done.
Daniel2000: Another great sunset shot. The clouds work really well with the red lighting. I also like the trees...the one in the middle looks like an elephant/hippopotamous​.
Cuypers 1807: Nice job getting an animal into the competition, glad to see one. The half-lit face is very cool, but I would have loved to see the bottom of his face.

Which brings me to the winner(s).

Runner-Up: Dilorenzo1954
Very cool shot with great PPing. The rocks and troubled ocean works great with the clouds risig around the red sun. Amazing depth too, well done.
Runner-Up: MSJGD:
A classic sunset shot enhanced by the surroundings. The trees are perfect for this kind of shot. Very nice work, and 40km from a bus...and 100 ISO. Sweet.

And our winner...DozerLYP
Amazing shot. The sky is fantastic: the colors, the clouds, everything. And the sillouettes make the shot, they're a perfect skyline, and they're incredibly sharp for silouettes. Great work.


And to all the contestants: Thanks for entering, and awsome job...all of you. Well done. I look forward to competing with you next round. Dozer, you're up!

Cool... A big congrats to Dozer and Jean-Guy!... Awesome photos everyone! Thanks for the nod Henry!

Thanks for the commentary, Henry -it does help to see reviews!

Congrats to all - a great series!

A little off=topic, hopefully my personal strife is past - my mother passed in September and I've been a bit of a basket. She was to have joined us on this trip to Sanibel, would love to have a shot of her shelling at dawn.

So I hope ya'll don't mind my rejoining the fun...and thanks for participating - entering (and someday winning!) was something I looked forward to - glad to finally make it.

Congrats to the winners! There were some amazing shots in here and it was quite hard NOT to comment on a few as they were posted up.

Congrats to everyone, especially the winners. The quality of the photography in these competitions just keeps getting better and better.

Henry, you did great in a very difficult job. Thanks!

Congratulations Dozer! Great shot indeed! Thank you Nistelrooydude for taking the time to comment on the other photos. I appreciated it.

Well thanks, this really means a lot to me. and congrats to all the other great shots this competition brought in.

I would like to offer my spot on making the #80 thread to one of the runner-up, as I don't think I'll have time to take care of it between renovation, photo shoot and work. But I'll definitely be watching.

Congrats Dozer!!

Awesome photos everybody!

WTG Dozer!!
Fabulous critque!!!!!
