The gallery this week was full to overbrimming with some amazing images, hence why the storyboard looks a tad crowded. There are 2 IOW's - in my heart I just couldn't separate them, so I didn't try....that's the beauty of being the Judge! Hope you enjoy the rest of my selections for the week, and congratulations to all those who posted images in their galleries.

Mississippi River backwaters/Judy - Such a lovely cool, calming scene, the natural beauty of the location comes through in your processing.

Between sets / drjoerogers - tennis is one of my passions and this casual scene of the guys taking a breather really made me smile - anyone for another set?

The courtyard fountain/Sydney - I love the explosion of colours and textures that you achieve in this image, makes me look forward even more to Summer if that's at all possible...

Calm waters, stormy skies/Simone - Exquisite in its simplicity, yet it sends a powerful harmonious message of peacefulness.

Norfolk sunrise through grass/Alexr - I get such a warm glow from this image, and I love all the tiny bokeh that's going on in the foreground.

On the hunt/fotofrank - What a great looking bird, well captured with such stunning details that show off his feathers and look of determination.

This week's IOW is shared by -
Poppy/HMCA and Jasmine/deany. It's all in the presentation, and both of these images have it in spades, simple yet effective.

After a poll vote, it is a nice contrast to see the personal touch that is evident when one judge shares their choices. I appreciate the time you took with both with your presentation and commentary, Jackie. Congratulations to the members who had their work recognized, they are all wonderful. Dean it is an honor to share the top spot with a photographer whose work I so admire. Your image is stunning!

Thank you Jackie for including my photo among your choices this week - it's an honor to be included among
such talented artists. Congratulations everyone! Dean, I love how your presented the Jasmine and those
colors are so striking. Helen, we always see a Poppy with it's face showing, but sometimes another
perspective is just as beautiful; congratulations to you both on your IOW's.
