I've made my choices but first a few comments (in the order of appearance) and then the winners.
xs400: Good composition and gives me the "I wish I could be there"-feeling
Tamia: Beautiful colours and the zoom effect gives a feeling of running towards that little bridge.
Nomad: Nice colors, I like the fact that there's basically only green and brown to be seen. You really concentrated on the path and I can almost feel the soil in my hands. Maybe you should've moved in even closer?
JanVan: What an interesting place. I like the green of the trees and the reflection on the water. I only wish I could see more of that construction as I can't quite make out what it is.
casil403: Simply beautiful scene with great composition and amazing colors.
jmschrei: Who could resist those gooselings? And they seem to have a small path of their own right next to the pavement.
tpeace: Very interesting scene with a nice composition. I like the symmetry of the sky and the canyon floor. Also the texture on the rocks and the shape of the boulders are great. The sky is blown out but it doesn't bother me at all. Maybe needs some contrast?
GingerBeer: Good composition with the lines and I like the crisp leaves. Somehow I'd like to see something more (in addition to the painted walker on the ground) closer to the camera on the left.
Iris: Another beautiful scene with beautiful color, composition and depth. First my eyes go up with the trees on the left, then down with trees on the right, then to the dog and then
through the trees past the walking person to the end of the road. Simply outstanding.
And the winners are:
3rd place: tpeace
2nd place: casil403
1st place: Iris
Congrats to winners and thanks to everyone else for participating!
