The Peru photo is spectacular, but I feel too much light got in over the mountains. The "Dunes" photo is also spectacular in clarity and colour. In the end I had to toss for it, and Dunes got "heads". -------------------- .

Tripper Group: Local Expert Posts: 1919 Joined: 31-May 06 Member No.: 893	The Peru shot is definitely nice but it doesn't do it for me because I can't "feel" the 360 degree view, the cool dampness and breeze against my skin, nor hear the animal sounds or nothingness which I know one experiences in those settings. So such scenery shots are never as good for me as actually being there. So on that note, I am gonna go against the current grain (for the most part) and cast my stone for those frozen flowers!

I like the landscape but I agree about there being too much light for me - does look beautiful though. I like ice flowers because I see different shapes in there - there's a three toed paw print in the background and then the ones in front look like little hovering fairies - kind of abstract I know! Apparently I've got my arty head on -------------------- Cheers and all the best, Honor My Webpage

I especially like the folks being in the shot; it makes it easier to imagine being there! -------------------- This is all I got. I couldn't make this up

I love close up shots from animals, so I think the butterfly is pretty cool but not spectecular, Peru looks amazing but a lil too bright for me, even though I bet it was an awesome view up there, so I guess I choose the Dunes too!
