My humble comments about my selection...

Night Train to Los Angeles
Brilliant catch and great timing to get the name in the right place. I guess this was luck to the logo where it is – but if it was timing then I take my hat off to you in reverence.

a good beating
wonderful colours, emotion and movement in hands. I knew I was in trouble when this image was posted.

more mac & cheese.... please?
An excellent play on the words. Beautifully executed and the B&W treatment makes it timeless. Please give her more mac & cheese…

after sunset
a beautiful image with great foregrounds and backgrounds to keep me looking and wanting to be there.

Blue Splash
I love this shot. I have tried this shot and never been successful in capturing such a beautiful shape and colour. Please reveal your secrets…

Grabbing a Bite
Brilliant timing. All I want to know is did the eagle get the fish?

Cutting Down On The Light Bill
An excellent timed shot and the B&W treatment makes it work well.

Leaving off time
What a wonderfully graceful shot. It captures the grace and beauty of both the dancer and dance.

Glitter Bomb
I have no idea what this is, but it is beautiful and I want to hang it on my wall 

Moment of suspension
The moment, the look on the face, everything speaks of elegance and the image reflects this perfectly

Newton’s Law
I am jealous jealous jealous. The lighting and timing are perfect and the shot is perfectly executed.

My Favorites, in no order after the top first three:



There were several others which could be in this list, except I had to pare down to 12 only for the sake of space. One thing I just noticed is that the color blue figures prominently in many of my selections. Is it just me?

Two mistresses. How can a man be more lucky? rofl

KP, thank you for liking my photo. It's gratifying that you liked my idea. I read your other post, and thought, "OMG, mine's a candle picture, it's gonna be boring". I have lurked on here and I really like your photos. Thank you, this means a lot to me.

hilarious!!! I did not see the lover typo haha

oh no, I type and then I think, and that thought is usually, wow woman, you just insulted a percentage of the population - you rock!

Not meant! It is just things that I have done in the past, not meaning they are better than what is before, or worse, just that I think a comp should push your mind, not be a continual wheel (even though we are stuck in one until we do something we like lol)

So sorry that you thought that and I really need to not type the thoughts, just eat something low fat instead!

Thanks for the kindness and Merry seasonal to you

Ozone

Trust me, I was not offended in the slightest. I thought it was really quite funny. Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year filled with many shades of gray! :photo

Thanks for the encouragement by placing me in your top picks. This is a balloon bursting after having been filled with glitter.

Thank you for picking my picture!

Merry Christmas, have fun and if we don't make the cut, see you in round 19

Wow! Thanks to those of you that have picked "More mac & cheese... please?" !

For some reason, it struck me just out of nowhere, I set it up and got 3 photos I thought might work. this was the clearest and sharpest. And she looks so pathetic that it cracks me up!!!

Thanks again! I really appreciate it - especially since I wasn't expect to even enter, let alone many anyone's lists!

I really liked the feeling of time in this picture. There is something in the movement of hands that seem to define it. My own $.02. Good luck!

kp-pix

You're welcome Curious Camel!! Well deserved!

I agree with ozone. I loved your pic from day one! well done!

Ozone

The smoke and the lines are nearly abstract. And gone in an instant. Something very sensuous in this pic. Good luck!

Hey thanks for adding me to your top ten.

My list was exactly 10, nice when that happens! Thanks to those who liked my midair horse.
not in order, and comments a little rushed:
Impending Doom-I just loved this, the timing, the title, the tones.
Timer-spot on for the theme, and well executed, held my interest.
Electric light-this is the spark, right? way cool.
Light the candles-had to look at this one for a while. Without the title I might not've figured it out.
Drop from above-a little more defogging would help, but super job adding interest to what could've been cliché.
Bustle Break-another winner for the theme, super motion blur.
Newton's Law-the best of the water droplets, nice work Slippy.
A Good Beating-the overprocessed look works well here.
Curvaliscious-a moment never to be repeated the same way, love the curves.
More Mac and Cheese-a different twist on the words used for the theme which implied time, this wins the out of the box award. So well staged and shot.

Thanks Lynne, yes this is the static spark.

Thank you too, AaronNelson2.
