Blew my nose and pulled a muscle in my back...out of commission for 2 days.

A couple of years back I sneezed violently during a cold and did exactly the same thing. Who would believe it??

I tried to describe my subjective feelings about each photograph.

Astonm - this is totally diferent approach to postprocessing than mine. I like framing and color but additional texture interference with sky teture in my opinion not work well.

Atupdate - Nice entry, colors and contrast like in my first try with this photo. Plane looks fine but i think it could looks better if placed a little higher and in center of photo.

BigMackCam - Really good, fiery sky, heavy contrast and 1to1 crop. This inspired me to back to the lightroom and experiment once more.

D1N0 - Cooling down colors makes it softer and forced me to look again to my processing metods. And Taj Mahal is perfect. Cowboy-dzilla makes me laugh every time.

Doroth2 - Another time i see my photo in colors so much diferent than my vision, great entry.

ffking - As i wrote before your entry was firts and inspired me to check the blue colors in photo. And from the two i think better is the 1to1 crop.

glen5995 - This entry when i first look at it didn't impress me much. But when im put all entries in one folder, it pops out to my eyes. I think the all together works out - black frame, gray Passe-partout and orange black photo.

johnc - Yours version looks totally identical like mine new version. I wanted to put it at the end of the contest but now its pointless. Like you read my mind.

Pavel_zhelev - Here i had the same feeling like at glenn5995. At first view - no this is not what i like, but looking again and again i have change my opinion to - damn this is good. Especially purple glow around edges gives this photo that something that i like.

timb64 - Color version have nice classy look but dont have this something. But B&W makes my day. To be honest because your B&W wersion i liked glenn photo.

wizofos - Like BigMackKam good fiery feel. But in this case diferent crop and slightly darker - very good job.

And the podium is:

third place - Rimfiredude - Fantastic, maybe crop could be 1to1 but dark look makes me smile every time i look at it.

Second place - LarsW - dark, intense colors, overall mood definietly one of the best for me in this contest.

But first place goes to Todd - crop, colors and smooth sky alone gives this entry very high place, but perfect handcrafted silhouette edge decided to give first place to You.
