Your Favorite Shot

This was a hard competition to judge. So many people submitted amazing work. I chose this photo for the top five because of it's complexity, while being really very simple. You've made the focal point in the center, showing the texture of the wheat, but haven't blurred the edges so much as to make the ants indistinguishable. Simple scene, but shows so much more than just wheat. Very good job. Congratulations.

This was a very difficult competition. There were a lot of amazing submissions, but this one was by far my favorite. I love how you managed to get the greens in the photo so bright without overwhelming to reds and oranges. The composition is beautiful, it's not too busy. Great job and congratulations!

WOW! This is so beautiful, but also kind of eerie and a little creepy. Almost expect something to pop out of the fog. Geometrically, it's a very precise photo. It seems simple. That's the sign of a good photographer. Making something kind of technical look easy and flawless. You did that. Great job.

I love, love, love this photo! It was the first one I saw in judging, and I knew it had to be top ten. The thing I love the most about this photo is she looks rather angelic, despite the light around her. This is very unique, and you did an amazing job. Congratulations.

This view is absolutely breathtaking. There were a lot of landscape submissions, but this one was definitely one of the best. Your attention to the small details in the foreground, while still managing to capture something so beautiful in the background is amazing. Beautiful work!
