This was not easy, and it seems like the little prize that Andy has offered is working - and working the judges harder! :D We had 55 entries for this challenge, 22 more than the previous challenge! Let's see if the number of voters does the same...

The top ten, as selected by Doctorit and rsinmadrid:

    It was also difficult to choose one out of ten excellent images. I so wanted to split my vote.

    some really great finalists from a great group of entries. I can't imagine having to select the 10 finalists. It was tough enough deciding who to vote for.

    An especially nice collection of photos. I found myself drawn to the shots featuring sunsets, curiously enough.

    My vote is cast. Congratulations to all finalists and all contributors. "Silhouette" turned out to be a great concept. clap.gif
