Off the top of my head, favorites: Peter Davies - Faces My fav fav shot this month. While it might have a little less shallow DOF, I really, really like this. Nice alignment, nice curve of overlapping faces. They look too awe struck to just be watching cartoons -- their expressions really make it.
Harald Rust - Receding Tide Well, no surprise, I always seem to like Harald's. Nice solitary *ist, *istD, er, star fish in front, which of course ties together the composition. This is exactly the sort of thing I like in long distance wide angle shots (with something in the foreground). Facit - Rhythm Yes, the last sheep makes it. Nice juxtaposition of animals and nature, good lines and composition. Pleasing to look at. Albano Garcia - Manuel Moody. Powerful. Vaguely disturbing. I don't have any desire to get to know Manuel. In fact, in real life I'd probably go out of my way to avoid him. Steven Desjardins - Balloon Ride A riot of color that resolves into an interesting image of a balloon ride. Lots of eye candy (in case I am using the term wrong, lots to engage the eye) here. Bill Owens - Sleepyhead I like animals, and owls. He does look sleepy and I am blown away with the quality of the Optio-S shot. Lots of fine detail in feathers, etc. Impressive. Karoly Kovacs - The flowers of evil #1 Hate the title, but like the shot. I like close ups of things I am not sure what they are. Nice color combination, green/red, and curves -- interesting abstract. Many more that I enjoyed. Maybe I'll post some more short comments later. Marnie aka Doe :-) If I spelled anyone's name wrong, sorry in advance.
