Vibrant! 2) for its' tranquillity. Soothing. 3) is a great shot but the 'blue' relevance escapes me. 4) doesn't appeal to me. It certainly fulfils the 'blue' requirement but the strained postures and the shadowed figures shielding the lit figures make it cluttered imo. For the third shot I would use: http://www.duke.edu/~ajs2/PAW/2005_07/images/2005_02_11_alt.jpg In fact I would try to shoehorn this shot into any and all categories in any and all competitions. I think it is inspired. Absolutely brilliant! --Graham
