"A Haunting Memory"

By Scott Michael Anna

 

"In picking this theme I was looking for a photo that was part of this summer's travels. A defining moment that touched you or left an image so strong it was hard to forget. I think Scott captured it with this capture. It is an image that stays with you, defines a moment of a summer trip I'm sure you won't soon forget. Congratulations Scott!"  - Christa Rompala

BEST OF THEME

Selected by Eagle Finegan

"Hmmm... How Much to Charge?"

By Brian Crossland 

"Everything about his photo works for me and for the theme.  From the angle, the faces and even the dog.   I loved that it was turned into black & white.   It makes you think of all kinds of stories and questions, like, what is the dog looking at?  As always, from Brian, an excellent photo.  Again.  It raises the bar!" – Eagle Finegan
