Hard to choose one! So offering up one that's not the sky.




Blue is prominent, but my favourite bit is the girl in the corner - you don't notice it initially, takes a few seconds until you notice her!

And Relax

Any guesses?

A morning blue-hour shot. It was taken about 40 mins before sunrise with a 30 second exposure. On the full size image you can see a few start trails.

Just a quick note firstly to say a big thanks to everyone who has posted - there are some great entries this month.

Due to some personal issues, I am unable to put in sufficient time today to decide on the winner, but I assure you all, will post early tomorrow with the result. Many thanks, and apologies for the delay in announcing the winner.

As previously mentioned, I apologise for the delay in posting the results.

There were some great entries this month (many would be potential winners normally), and it's good to see a lot of them too.

I really liked R1 Dave's daughter's eyes, and also am at a loss as to what Hub's abstract image is?
SgtBrebatov's leaning water tower was another strong contender.


As always, it's a personal decision, but my favourites are:


In 3rd place, singlecoil's Irises - the lighting is really extremely good.

In 2nd place, RDMcG's Internment camp. There had to be at least one of the top 3 with the blue sky, and this was a really nice image.

And finally, the winner for this month is eein's tartan guy in a trailer.
For me, it's the fact that you can't see his face, and the little girl in the corner really makes the image.

Sorry, probably shouldn't have been so vague! It was a jellyfish at the Monterey Aquarium - specifically one of these -

Wow, thanks!! I spend ages trying to pick a picture for entry, and just like you judged it was the composition with the glass ball perfectly aligned to his face that really makes it.

For those interested, the picture was from the Dubai Shopping Festival a few years ago. There was this weird street entertainment thing going on down at the park in Downtown at the Burj Khalifa. I took a video:
