I have a Sears 60x300 M 4.0/5.6 I can donate for the March contest If you tell me who to send it to.
Did anyone figure out if #45 was sand or snow?

Both from the look of it.

Wow, a lot of great work. 4, 50,31 in that order. 4 is an incredible image. I caught my jaw just before it hit the keyboard.

I second that motion.

I read a lot of griping about the subject but, DAMN! there's some really great images up there. There's two that I'd like to know who took them. That's all I'm saying for now.. Very nice entries all!!

I will need to ponder these a little more.
You and me both. I've been pondering for a a few days now. I still can't bring myself to pick just three not to mention how to order those slim three!

I'll be behind you waiting for that same shot!!
That is a tough one. For visual impact I really was really wowed by #4. I knew it was not a straight shot, but then again, back in the old days we did an awful lot in the darkroom to "adjust" the print (and negative too) to what was seen in the mind's eye as the exposure was being made. I can remember using the heat from my finger tips to enhance the development of different regions of a print by touching the paper in the bath. The only straight prints were the ones you got from the drug store.

Having said that, when you drill into the exif data to expose the photoshop history and see just how much labor went into the rendition of the #4, you have to admit that the results are pretty heavily manipulated.

Excellent work everyone. Wish I could have participated, but I have been snowed in all month.

#4 - For its artistic expression. What a dull world we would have if we limited ourselves to documentary style.

#44 - Because it made me laugh - out loud!

#50 - It captured the essence of isolation - A lighthouse in the Winter - Brrr!!!
