We have so many wonderful edits this round, I have to say it is a little hard to figure out the best. I was impressed by Lore's B&W pano, Palladium's emphasis on emotions, Flo's film effect, Lavanut's motion blur effect, asay82's crop, and ViciousCircle's edits.
reisset, Coops61, FELINEDEBOURGES and Ocron also did an fantastic edits.

At last, I made a choice among Lore, Palladium, ViciousCircle and Bsmooth's edits. I love theirs best.

I'm going to give the prize to Bsmooth.
The photo was taken on Christmas of 2008. There is a light dust storm in the sunny day. Bsmooth's edit is more consistent with what I saw at the moment.

Best wishes to everyone and happy holiday!

Thanks very much, now I need to find a good image to put up for everyone. This is what I love about photography the best. I always wonder after I get home and start processing If I can get the right look to when I saw the image in the first place.Or If you see an image what you want to see out of it yourself.
Take one image and you take 100 people and you'll get 100 "different" images.
Let me look thru my images and as one of my favorite old tunes says' Take it to the Limit !
