Posted By: mattb123, 01-20-2018, 10:48 PM

Thanks for playing everyone!
Lots of good images but I have to pick.

The winner is elpolodiablo. Love that skyline and the depth. The glow is there in the mist and it's a fine shot.


Second place is lukulele.


Third is NickDB


Some quick comments:

atupdate - great glow, love that art form!

Nice event Matt - well hosted and well chosen. Congrats to elpolodiablo - my personal favourite as well. The layering you captured in what turned out to be an almost "colour-monochrome" is just perfect! I appreciate the comments about my shot (the beach glowing red in reflection of the sunset with the skimboarder). The location is called Pearly Beach, which is not far from Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa - and we really do get the most stunning sunsets down there.... (actually, I have a seafront plot available in the village - anyone keen for a slice of paradise?) :-)

Raises hand!!!!!

OOH OOOH!!! I'M IN! Me! Pick me! (Seriously, what do I have to do to take you up on the offer?)

I have been down there exactly to that spot. I would most definitely go back in a heartbeat.

I spent 3 months in South Africa in Capetown, George, Jefferies Bay, and Port Elizabeth and all places in between. I loved that little village there in Cape Agulhaus. It's MELLOW. Really awesome place for relaxation.
