There were so many excellent entries this week that narrowing my choices down to just a few was harder than usual. I admire the creativity and use of all the different techniques possible with the fantastic software available to us these days. The Fifer by PeteB Yet another of your wonderful sketch effect portraits. The Black and White conversion suits the subject perfectly and you have mastered the sketch effect technique here. Christmas Cactus by Dandc A beautiful macro capture of a very pretty delicate flower, it amazes me that cactii can produce such lovely flowers from their prickly, spiny plants. I love the translucency of the petals and vibrant colours. Sharing lunch by JJr1770 – Judy An excellent capture of these cute little feathered friends (forgive my ignorance on being able to name the species). The subtle colours of the background and framing complement the image perfectly. Old Barn by Preeb Both your submissions of the old barn caught my eye and the dramatic colour version came close to being included here, but in the end the black and white conversion won. What a threatening dramatic sky – was there a big storm brewing? Windmill Photo Sketch by HMCA Helen Though I like all the fall colours and winter landscapes typical of this time of year, your pretty sketch conversion of the windmills made me feel that spring was already here, and for that you are awarded Image of the Week

Congratulations Helen on a beautiful rendition. Good show to all who were mentioned.
An aside to Pauline: Actually it was a pale blue and almost cloudless sky the day I took that photo of the barn. I did some playing with the B&W hue saturation sliders in Lightroom to darken the sky and add some specific contrast to other hues as well. I do have some local photos of some stormy weather that I may revisit for this week's contest.
