I vote for number 2. I love the green chair and the way the lighting is arranged. Get a sense of calmness and serenity from the photo.

Some very nice photos there, congrats to all of the finalists.

**polarstar** · 01-16-2021, 03:24 PM

Nice photos all, but I really don't care for the ones that don't make clear exactly what the hobby is.

So many wonderful choices here... hard to pick just one... I like photographs that capture a split second... I like photographs that show clarity... I like the shots that most of us never get to see... I love peoples hands that are busy doing what the person loves... You all made my choice difficult.... Thank you for sharing your best shots... I think #6 captures my vote, it is a wonderful composition, the clarity is spot on and the color of fabric is a great choice, it adds vibrancy. Sewing is my life and the hands in this photograph could well have been mine. This just drew me into the scene. Beautiful Photograph.

# 11 but it was really hard to choose

lesmore49 · 01-16-2021, 10:00 PM

My vote is for #2,

#6 for me. Great photo. Color is crisp. Reminds me of my grandmother, she always sewed all the time

I found 14 really interesting because it made me pause. At first I thought night time tilt shift. Then realized it was model trains with the the long exposure for the lights

#2 keeps pulling my eye back. Those deep rich tones!

**osarafian** · 01-17-2021, 11:01 AM

Good job, getting that baby in for a nap

**Pknot** · 01-17-2021, 12:33 PM

Torn between 1,2 and 10. I love sailing, but #2 is just a beautiful and warm photo.

I like the baby picture but I don't know what hobby it represents. Same with the airplane, I assume amateur pilot but that looks like a big plane. Both nice shots so it is probably my lack of knowledge on hobbies

I think the idea behind both 12 and 14 is that either could be a photo of "me" engaged in my hobby. The sails of #12 capture a beautiful moment for the photog (I think), whereas #14 takes model trains to a new level. The others are all beautiful, and the action shots on water (3,11) are breath-taking. I vote for #14.

#8 is by far the pick for me. 😊

Jaap M · 01-18-2021, 11:21 AM

#3, although not crispy sharp, a very nice composotion! Seems a nice hobby
