AUTUMN CONTEST WINNERS

1st Place



October on the Escarpment
JeffR





2nd Place



Autumn on Nason Creek
regnaD kciN





3rd Place (tie)



All Souls Church
ElsewheresDaughter





Un-intended Majesty

Host’s Choice



Barbie Nowhere in Sight
Blue_In_AK




It’s expressionist colors, elegant composition, hint of mystery, and clever title make Barbie Nowhere in Sight a gorgeous reflection on both the season of autumn and the beauty of the world untouched by humans.


Bandon Harvest
Richard D




With it's use of 'golden hour' light, the leading lines of the rolled sod, and the feathered cloud patterns, this is evocative of one of a fine English rural landscape by someone like Nick Meers or Peter Watson. If we have one criticism, it was that this image was submitted at a smaller size than the others in this contest; we suspect that a larger version of this photo would be all the more impressive.

9. Congratulations JeffR.

All of these pictures are stunning. I don't think I've ever seen the voting so close before. Well done, everyone.

11. Well, it was "close" for 2nd through 10th places...
...but, when the winning entry has (deservedly) more than double the votes of the second-place finisher, I really don't think you can call the voting "close." ;-) This was a runaway from start to finish.

12. True, 1st was a shining victory.

I didn't mean to take anything away from JeffR's accomplishment. It's a stunning picture.

Congratulations to you too, regnaD kciN.

13. Thanks, but...
...it will always serve as a sobering reminder to me that, at last, the photo group had a contest winner featuring Water Falling Over Things...and it wasn't mine!!!!
