Winners: Winter theme

[Jackie Schuknecht]

1. Snowflakes in the Land of Snow (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/116371-Theme-Snowflakes-in-the-Land-of-Snow)by Michael Gerald-Yamasaki. I found this a delightful and original take on the theme. The composition is beautiful, and never would have even thought of using a duo-tone for the H/S. Good show Michael.

2. Wintry Leaf (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/116402-Theme-image-Wintry-Leaf)by Judy Howle. (repost) I loved the colour of the leaf and the BG is beautiful. Good interpretation for the theme Judy!

2. Snowy Evening (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/116472-Theme-Snowy-Evening)by Anita Bower. Great mood on this one Anita. I liked the darkness contrasted with the moon. The snow is a nice addition. Congrats!

Thanks to all who participated.

Thanks Jackie! Congrats to Michael and Anita, well deserved.

I love it when we get a wide range of images for a theme and this was a great example of that. Congratulations, Michael on a lovely image. Also, congrats to Judy and Anita - both were wonderful. Thanks, Jackie for judging:S3:

[Anita Bower]

Well, thank you! :bg3:
Congratulations to Michael and Judy.
Thanks to Jackie for judging, a job I'd never want to do, as there are always so many excellent images!

[Nancy Bell]

Congratulations Michael! And a super well done to Judy and Anita! Thanks to everyone for submitting images. Always so inspiring to see what is posted.

[Michael Gerald-Yamasaki]

Congratulations Judy & Anita. Jackie, thanks much for the recognition, comments and for judging. The photo I posted along with a few others of my daughter dancing in the Nutcracker have generated some interest in her dancing and an unplanned audition that we're scrambling to prepare for... maybe my most, uh, impactful photo ;-)...

Cheers,

-Michael-
