THIRD PLACE and BEST OF THEME

Start the Microwave by Sheryl Rosedoff Bergman

 Scott M. Anna had this to say about his Best of Theme: My selection for BEST OF THEME this week, is the one that I was looking for to touch on all five senses within one photograph. Sheryl captured all five senses in her photo. In her own words: Start the Microwave: HEAR it pop, SMELL it cook, Open the bag and SEE that it's not burnt, Grab a handful-TOUCH, and then TASTE its yummy goodness  by Sheryl Rosedoff Bergman.

Sheryl also gets the informal admin award for the longest title ever. Congrats to all the winners. There were some wonderful interpretations of this week's theme.

Best of Theme 

picked by Patti Wheeler

 

  Fields of Gold by Terry Atkin Rowe

Patti Wheeler had this to say about her choice:

Although I'm also a fan of spontaneous, unplanned moments with a camera, I love that Terry used so much conscious effort to spend time experimenting with the light. She walked around & tried different angles & positions in order to get the best dramatic lighting for her "capture" of this landscape. It has a fairy tale quality to it, that I find entrancing!

Terry found real gold in this photo taken during the "golden hours" of the day. As Andy Laighleis commented: "This definitely shows the difference between taking a photo and making a photo."

This was Scott’s fourth win. And we have two admins in the top three. We have one new member, Mike Redmond.

“Are you Sure ?” By Donna Palmund

Eagle had this to say about her choice: . I had more than a few people ask me what did dichotomy mean. I told them go look at Donna's photo. I think that will clear up any questions. What a find!
