So many sunsets this month!

Gotta go with number 1. I really like simplicity, and great use of the macro.

Tough selection there...

#5 just wings it. That photo pretty much sums up an ideal situation for me while on travels - sunset, sun, wildlife.

#1 and #4 were also very cool indeed.

In spite of the haziness, No. 5 gets my vote, with a very close second for No. 1. Are you sure you have the right caption for No. 4?

Thanks for catching that.....that's what happens when you do a lot of copy and paste to save time!

I loved #5, it felt a little hazy though. But #1 gets my vote... it's simplicity and creativity.


Yeah! We're the underdogs this time.
