It seems that most people have tried to interpret the theme in a very literal manner, in contrast to preceding months when there was a wider spread in the way people interpreted the theme. Pudong Ji Mao Tower - nice tones, good composition with the dark building in the foreground. Untitled (Third prize) - also good, but could benefit from higher contrast in the foreground so that the water poodle on the lower left would be more prominent.? Old Gang Smelt Mill Swaledale - this image just oozes desolation, and I like the composition despite the fact that the horizon is more or less in the middle of the image.? Fate - this is probably an excellent image, but it is difficult to see because it is so much smaller than the others. I think it is probably the best image in this month's contest but it is hurt by the presentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another judge said this: A great set of entries. The one of the skyscrapers in Shanghai just reminded me of how good LUG photography can be! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My own (Brian Reid's) favorite is Harrison McClary's "Times Past" but of course I formed that opinion before I had any idea who the photographer was. I have the contest website set up so that nobody, not even the system administrator, can determine the submitter of an image until judging is finished, unless of course the person puts their name in the entry somewhere. The judges don't learn who the photographers are until I publish the results.
