2nd place
Woodland dawn by Lin_O

Nikoneer: Oh, man, does this give me a sense of Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane, and ghost stories in the woods of upstate New York. I realize you gave it a "dawn" title but it looks to me like something creepy, with a big creepy-colored lantern, is dragging its creepy self towards us, in the dead of night (I mean a really big lantern... really big). The atmospheric nature is so strong and thick, I could almost lick it off the screen (No, I'm really not that weird... I only think that way :o). The lighting and color is mystical and the tall, thin trees add so much to the tall portrait orientation of the photo. Placed on a black horizontal field, it would pop like crazy and then fit my monitor without having to lose any of this outstanding submission. bd (that's a bad emoticon for two thumbs up)

5th place
Lakeside Perspective by corngrowth

Nikoneer: As some of the others have said, I like how the rail on the right pulls me down that walk with the couple and their dog(?). Then again, I'm always a sucker for a good vanishing point perspective and repetitive lines. This equally as much architectural as it is people.
