It was a great theme and there were lots of great shots. My vote went to dan123: At the End. I knew it was the one to beat as soon as you posted it.

I thought this was a great mono. Lots of angles, contrast and leading lines! I might have been tempted to tilt the camera slightly (but that's just me). Great location and brill shot.

I really liked this but thought it lacked a bit of umph. I had alittle play around and really overdid it, but I thought it could be improved with more contrast, burn down those black lines and dodge the rows of corn to really bring out the lines. You could also warp the image a bit to exagerate the angles i.e. stretch the bottom outwards. I can show you what I mean if you're interested.

However, I'm no expert, so they are just my thoughts/ideas.

Thanks for my votes Lepach and mondmagu; much appreciated.

Good point Pea, I did do the ol' dodge/burn but reverted it back. Yeah I know what you mean about stretching the bottom outwards....haha....I could've inserted a pun, but I resisted....lol

Dave, quite a few things in your world are on a tilt, It's going out of my depth as I never know how much tilt is acceptable.

I don't think there are any rules... it's just what looks good. it's all subjective though :-)

When I tilt, it looks like a bad photo....lol...no, even if I don't tilt, it still looks like a bad photo!!!
