As usual, most of these look more 'made' in "PP" than photographed.
I suppose the alternative is to accept whatever the digital camera's algorithms spit out in the form of a JPG and be content or even happy with that.

This attitude reminds me a bit of creative writing students who balked at changing anything in their poems because the poems, in their straight-out-of-the-pen-and-onto-the-paper form, had been gifted to them by the muse. Why bother revising or editing?

At any rate, the images this month are the result of a variety of visions and creative processes, and there are easily a half-dozen I could vote for and be happy with that choice. And, yes, I nominated a majority of these images myself.

I've got my own lens-related preference here, though that lens is just a tool used to create a particular kind of image. That image was visualized, I'm sure, before the photographer chose the right lens and put his or her eye to the viewfinder, and it was well-crafted from the act of capturing the image through whatever steps the photographer chose to take in whatever application he or she chose to employ.

I'm very happy that the photographers whose works appear among these fifteen images are dedicated enough to do what it takes to make photographs such as these.

The B&W one with the plane did not win a previous contest?
That Avro Lancaster does look a bit familiar, doesn't it? But I don't know if it won a previous contest or not. It's a well-made image, though, for sure. . . .

I voted for #10. But all very good in their own right. It's very difficult, perhaps unfair to judge another photographers work. Each produces an image taylored to their specific taste/style etc. Which may or may not fit with the tastes of the majority judging. Good luck to everyone.

Wow, these are stunning images, congrats to you all.

I made my choice, and if that's a result of PP, more powers to the photographer and his/her awesome PP chops!

Agree with many other folks that this is a tough contest from which to select a single winner. Regarding PP: Provided it is not done to glaring excess (like pasting in blue sky and clouds on overcast day pix, or goosing color levels beyond any ever seen on earth) I agree that it's part of the creative process. Judicious PP is not much different from dodging and burning, or choosing a different polycontrast filter, back in the day.
