Great contest!

An iconic image of London Baker Street station. This is an image that I have seen on a number of occasions and often with variations so I am not sure how many windows this station has. An excellent capture of the light in this fairly dark station. Great light illuminating the clearly defined commuters all strategically positioned on the benches. I like the red Baker Street underground emblem positioned at the rule of thirds with its own source of illumination. This is not present in some images that I have seen. Your framing is inch perfect, great shot, well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection.

A beautiful sharp and detailed image. Great contrast between the feathers on these delicate birds and their rusty barbed wire perch. Perfect soft green background complements this delightful trio. Great camera settings, well done and congratulations on making my top ten selection.

A very appealing image of togetherness. These monkeys drew me in with their relaxed group posture and faces that have a human quality. The composition works well with the head positions and the eyes being closed, open and semi open. When viewing this image you are compelled to follow each set of eyes in this circular rotation. I also liked the touches of brown in their coats. Excellent capture and congratulations on being my number one selection.

Beautiful soft pastel image that complements the delicate nature of the subject. Nice graduation of color from left to right and just the right amount of detail in the dandelions to give them a light airy feeling. I feel that you are at one with your subject and with excellent camera settings, patience and knowledge you have produced a very memorable image that is indeed a "Pas de Trois". Well done and congratulations on making my top ten selection.

A classical still life with two groups of three. I find your composition and lighting excellent. The addition of the extra apple gives the image the balance necessary to make it work. The red apples and green / turquoise bowl make a stunning color combination. The neutral color of the bottles work perfectly. Wonderful compositional eye, well done and congratulations on making my top ten selection.
