Happy Moments and Places

Congrats on 4th place. This is a beautiful image of a truly iconic cityscape. I love the lights of the skyscrapers which are striking against the blue night sky and you have darkened the periphery to keep our eyes focused on the true star of the show-the skyscrapers. With your long exposure, you have created a beautiful version of the Hudson to reflect the lights. A gorgeous image that will bring a smile to anyone's face for many years to come. Thank you for entering my contest.

Congrats on your first place! This photo stood out for me from the first time I saw it. I love the colours and that you have captured the shape of the waterfall and you have also captured the variations in light and colour. Thank you for entering the contest.

Congrats on your 2nd place! This is a stunning photo with the perfect line between the tree, sea and moon. I particularly love the contrast between the tree colour and the colour of the moon's reflection. The tree shape and its position in the photo are perfectly structured. Thank you for entering my contest.

Congrats on your 5th place. The first time I looked at your photo, I wondered if it was a potential photo of the moon and when I looked at it properly to realise it was a bubble, yes I smiled! It's beautiful, different and quite mesmerising. The colours within the bubble are in contrast to the blackened background which keeps our focus completely on the bubble. A gorgeous photo. Thank you for entering my contest.

Congrats on 3rd place. Wow! I am actually a bit scared and intimidated by this creature in the photo. Vultures, to me, are definitely not the beauty queens of the bird world. But this is stunning as you have perfectly captured his power, his wings, his shape, his darkness and his determination in catching whatever prey he has set his sights on! I can see why this photo would bring you happiness every time you look at it! Well done
