Basshead's and piku's so far for me. It's not that the rest are bad but those two have a feeling of tranquil stillness IMHO.

Well, I went out with my new camera today but wound up going back to one of my old favourites for this, taken a few years ago at Bedruthan Steps in Cornwall in early October. Beautiful light down there, nuff said.

Right. There we go then, entries are now closed for this month.

Over to defsdoor to shortlist the top 5.

Can someone remind me of the rules for multiple posts ? Does the submitter have to choose their actual entry ?

Also - I can't get Witewulf's to load.

Either nominate, or it defaults to the last entry.

Madhippo

BassHead

The Caffeine Kid

I had a hard time selecting for this. There were some great photos that either didn't convey the feeling of tranquility to me or the entry I would've pick was superceded by another entry (I would have picked Piku's and Rik's first posts for example).

In the end I had to look deep into some of them to find the tranquility I was looking for. For example, in MadHippo's I get there by following the road into the picture which then opens out in to the landscape and sky. In Caffeine Kid's the tranqulity is broken by the walker until you put yourself in the position of the photographer and suddenly it becomes very peaceful. Basshead's balloon is unfortunately slightly pixellated but the crop really draws you into the balloon and imagine how calm it would be up there. I think that given 30 minutes less light and a slightly flaming torch there would be an instant winner.

Moosedude's domain has fallen off the internet so I couldn't review his.

I think I picked this theme at the wrong time of the year perhaps.
