Competition is closed, Now in the process of making difficult choices. Back soon with a decision!
- - - - - -

Ken Shipley: Lovely thing to see in the air. Especially like the touches of gold around the leading edges.

Ed/ Dilopix: Wow. Variety on the wing; and the background!

Rosalie / GG’Ma: Nice action too and “abstracty”. And that looks like maybe a mermaid in the seat!

Don / OldCrow: Impressive maneuver – are they prop planes - can’t quite tell?

Terry Pink: That’s a lot of air to be up in! Nice capture esp at 1/150 of a second.


My decision’s been up in the air, too, but going I'm with Ed for the win and Terry and Ken for the HMs. But all good - thank you!
