1st place
Always Lenticular by Flmngseabass

trixxie17: Congrats Bruce on the win in the contest - it had the look of a winner from the get go!

ro_and: cool....Ro

Pjsee16: Wonderful distinct and great view of the size and scope in contrast to the mountain.

Nikoneer: The Mothership has arrived!!! My idiocy aside, this is a very cool shot, Bruce. Lenticulars form over high mountains and mountain ranges (like one I caught out in Glacier National Park, coming over the Continental Divide), and manifest in a variety of shapes. They are somewhat rare, though, so you are lucky to have been in the right place at the right time.

2nd place
MILOS ... by Vickid

Flmngseabass: A hardy 2nd place congrats are in order Vickie!!! Way to go:)

Pjsee16: The image is very striking and the contrast between the blue of the water and the white rock is dramatic. I could almost mistake it for an iceberg..by the colors.

3rd place
The Path by biffobear

Vickid: Stunning, awesome details.

bfrank: Congrats on the third place, Richie!

Flmngseabass: So peaceful and serene Richie:):)

Flmngseabass: A well deserved 3rd place congrats is in order Richie!! Way to go:)

Nikoneer: The warm and slight softened nature of these photos, Richie, are very reminiscent of the classic renaissance painters I had to study in college, chasing a degree in fine art. As for the image, It is the classic ^Two Roads^ of Robert Frost. Through the gate is a bucolic pasture with known denizens like cows, sheep, border collies, and the like, in bright sunshine or soaking rain, and down the path is cool quiet, wildlife, small rustlings in dark places, and exploration. It all depends on what the individual visitor to your photo finds comfortable or enticing. Personally, Richie, I choose the path. So does my wife.

4th place
Cathedral Spires Hike 10--Farewell to the Day by Nikoneer

corngrowth: ---I am glad I could share it with you---

'Nik', many thanks for sharing with us this magnificent series.
The photographs are wonderful, but photographs only can't make it to a great series. The well documented narratives are an integral part of it. In that matter, you've spoiled us.
Thanks again. Very well done, 👍 !

5th place
Hands on the Wheel of the Turning World by Pjsee16

trixxie17: What a glorious shot - I love that time of day for photography!

corngrowth: Paul, was this very fine sunrise image taken at or near the Cabot Trail, almost on the most northern part of Cape Breton Island looking over the Cabot Street (the street between the St. Lawrence Bay and the Atlantic Ocean)?
A very scenic sight. By checking-out this link the water comes into my mouth, 😁 !
