    My top picks in no particular order.

    235458558-L.jpg

    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:

    235489441-L.jpg

    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? headscratch.gif

    rolleyes1.gifhilarious!!! 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! eek7.gif

    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 iloveyou.gif

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

    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! :D 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!

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

    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.

    You're only as good as your next photo....
    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."
