You all made this challenge very hard to judge!

ShutterbugstationStan Your pinecone framing was outstanding! I really like that the color mostly pops in the frame and the vignetting adds to the framing.
rantercsr Not one but multiple frames that can hold up on their own...I love it (them)

OldCrow I like the frame and your whimsical take on the subject of the frame.

Stiga Sorry Martin...I find this one a bit disjointed as the frame does not frame anything but clipped gondolas. I tried looking at it several times but it doesn't do anything for me.

TerryPinky I wish you would have cropped this a bit Terry...to my eyes, there's too much distraction outside the frame.

RDWP I love the vertical framing of this shot and I'm immediately drawn to the people in the image and then zoom backwards to the rest of the elements in it...this would make a great B&W!

Going back and forth on this one I decided to give the win to rantercsr with the HM going to RDWP

Thank you all for participating and looking forward to your next challenge Randall

 

[OldCrow]

Congratulations rantercsr.

 

[Stiga]

A good challenge and congrats to rantercsr

 

[RDWP]

Congrats Randall! And thanks, Ed, for the HM and the challenge! Great shots all around.

 

[ShutterbugsstationStan]

Congratulations to the winner! A fun challenge this was!

 

[rantercsr]

Thanks to all, new one will be up soon.

It took several attempts to get the photo. But after a few i got a feel for where he was aiming to be and it got a little easier to anticipate.
