Great stuff. One nitpick... I think the photographer who produced that b/w monsoon shot got shafted a bit. I'd put it in the top 5, minimum. But then, I don't work for NG.
Fantastic images one and all. I must agree with Rob regerding the monsoon pic. Excluding the first one I would have chosen a different order but neither do I work for them :) Being over the top nitpicky, the horizon is not level in Into the Green Zone. My favourite is the fishing boat.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Edit. I'm a bit of a moron at times, it would seem. The monsoon shot was an honorable mention, putting it in the top 5. Didn't realize that there were diff categories. Still, I'd have had no problem making it the category winner.
Amazing vision and photographic skills!! I'm in awe of such talent! My favourites ....the Monsoon also and the dragonfly who seems to be holding on for dear life! :)
