Congratulations to Bendall! Beautiful shot and I would imagine a magical moment to capture. Well done!
My vote went to
Twinnie's 'Solitary Man'. Loved the processing, very dramatic, very moody, and the umbrella definitely swung it for me

DD - I loved your shot too. But I must admit, the watch just took the edge of it. But I love the fact that you're getting creative. All that schoolwork is paying off
Up
kerbside's 'solitary plane' - i know you dont want any feedback, and I too, have done the same thing as a last minute entry. I do like the fluffy clouds though
Down
ogri1st's 'tower of solitude' - great shot, I liked the dusting of snow in the foreground and the dramatic sky. not sure why it didnt pick up any votes
Thanks to cutter, hedgehog, kerbside and mabbutt for your votes this week. Pea - if I had known, I would have yanked the other stalk out. Damn it!
