Thanks to hmca (Helen) for announcing the IOW and allowing me to judge this go round. Also, thanks to everyone who entered photos/images over the past two weeks. There were quite a few entries and I’ve selected three honorable mentions and one grand winner. Congratulations to Lillias, Judy, Frank and Pat!
Honorable mentions, in order of appearance
BillieJean
Good Things
The overall composition and layout are pleasing, as are the muted mauve colors. It has a nice dreamy feel. I am not well versed in the techniques used, but Lillias did a great job of putting this together.
blackmutt
Daisy (coneflower) with textured background.
This is one of those images that I just like. Judy's image is very simple and I like the offset placement of the flower. The “rustic” background is a pleasing. The image has a Van Gogh-like feeling.

The view from Plymouth and Water Streets
To my eyes, this has an old-school AND futuristic look to it. The small buildings in the far background have a futuristic feel. The older bridge is frame nicely by the darker foreground buildings. The “soft” conversion is perfect.
The IOW for 11 Feb to 23 Feb is srmoment’s Full Moon over Fisgard Lighthouse
What’s to say, eh? The moon, the clouds, the lights on the city buildings, the starburst of the shipyard (?) light. This is a “busy” photo but it all fits together. Perfect B&W conversion that ranges from black to white (moon)—a bit unusual, but it is a night scene and works well. Congratulations, Pat!
