I love the shape and reflection created in four, but five gets it for me - I like the layers of colour and its not as cold feeling as four. So 5 it is -------------------- In Search Of ...........

Tripper Group: Local Expert Posts: 2002 Joined: 4-June 06 Member No.: 2195	Really hard choice. The bird photo has a wonderful light on the ocean, and those two islands in the background complement the two birds. On the other hand, I liked seeing the piles of salt reflected on the water. If it didn't have a title you could easily mistake it for ice. I would give them all an honourable mention. -------------------- .

Jet Setter Group: Local Expert Posts: 2643 Joined: 9-June 07 From: Edinburgh, Scotland Member No.: 60100	My thinking has progressed to... My gut instinct is 3 cause its so surreal, but 4, wow - I love the fact that you can't tell where the water ends and the mist begins. I have to say, I don't get number 2 though.

Unregistered	These are some cracking pics! I don't envy you guys having to pick them at all Jacques! For me I think, no. 3! Its pretty cool... and it has to be the winner as the most unusual topic for a picture too!

The brilliant blue and the bright white is wonderful and the clouds are amazing. -------------------- If you really look like your passport photo, you need the holiday!

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: 26-June 08 From: Mesa, AZ Member No.: 203963 Nominate me as a Local Expert	Hello Everyone, I'm a new member to the Travelpod family. I just found the photo contest and decided to place my vote. This was a tough decision for me honestly its a tie for me on 3 & 4. They both are technically sound images. There are things I love about both of them. With the bridge one you can really feel like you were there looking across the water and into the fog in the distance. The composition is perfect, and the peaceful mood of this photo really drew me in. On #3 with the salt. This photo struck me as different, but yet artisitc! The photographer had a tough challenge nailing the perfect exposure on this one, and they got it! The composition of this shot keeps my eye rolling over the entire picture, and finding something new each time I look at it. Great work this month my vote was for #3 Regards Jamie Hines
