Gotta say, I liked #2, but sunsets may be over done...

Welcome a3dennert, that's a great photo you took! Did you have a waterproof camera?
Happy Holidays to you too, and welcome to the forums!

Yowza Dennert. Looks if you had a great time on the river in Costa Rica.

Nevertheless, looking for something unusual, you cannot but admire the sepia view of Okefenokee Swamp. I live near the Everglades where world famous photographer Clyde Butcher captures the area in classic black and white. http://www.clydebutcher.com/online-gallery.cfm

My vote is for No. 1 too.

Number one all the way. What a beauty. Alpharetta, you must be very proud of this photo. I would be!

Number 5 for me. Thought Number 1 was a little bit too...dull. I don't really like "arty" shots.

N° 1- is excellent...but my vote goes to N° 2: Sunset & Moonrise.

As for N° 3, not good! (as far as foto...action is OK) N° 4 is an excellent spot, but very badly photografed. N° 5, we pilots don't like this type of hazzard...[/font][/color][/size]

It was number 5 for me - though I also was not particularly inspired this time round. I liked the moodiness of the fog/mist - it always lets me conjure up images of things lurking out of sight! What that says about my psyche I don't know!

Cheers and all the best,
