“So many wonderful photos! I never realized what a difficult task it is to select just one! My pick for Best of Theme is Terri Tiqhe's "Mills Rose Garden, Syracuse, NY". In this shot, Terri has managed to capture frames within frames within frames, what with the columns, the arched trellises, the rose vines, and even the grass/cement around the bricks/stones. She has included both natural and man-made frames, as well as both curved and straight lines. Even frames of light and dark. And all that in exquisite harmony. Well-done, Terri!”

“As soon as I saw this photo, it drew me right into it. I love the depth and texture of it. It's abstract and so 3 dimensional. Is it a flower, a spore or something out of a 1950's Sci-Fi movie? Let your imagination decide.” ~ Peggi
