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.

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. . . .
