1st place
Always Lenticular by Flmngseabass

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

trixxie17: Congrats on the contest Vicki - it was a beauty!

Flmngseabass: Superb image Vicki!! That water is amazing and the cliffs are beautiful:) Tell me Vicki, is the lower portion of the cliffs been artificially coated to prevent collapsing or are my eyes gone wacky:)??

3rd place
The Path by biffobear

Nikoneer: This is a perfect choice for the contest, Richie; it had that effect on me. Wish you luck!

bfrank: Congrats on the third place, Richie!

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.

Cathedral Spires Hike 10--Farewell to the Day by Nikoneer

jerseygurl: Congrats Nik on taking 4th place in the contest!!!!!!!!!!

trixxie17: I like the downward angle which lets us know we are leaving and leaving with another great look.

Pistos: I like the lighting in this one.

bfrank: It is a very majestic place. Thanks for sharing your journey, Nik! Where I am about all you see is pine trees except for the farm lands.

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

jerseygurl: Congrats Paul on taking 5th place in the contest!!!!!!!!

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, 😁 !
