I too was surprised at the lack of entries. I had two to decide between, the other being a nighmare dream - I took some low light photos inside a 'haunted house' featured in a local Halloween Carnival.
Back to the submitted photo, it was owned by an Olympian gymnast, thus the monogram in the pool. Also, never could figure out where the Realtor had the corporate name of Ironhorse until photographing this property. He was also an Olympian, competing four years prior to her. She had a career ending injury, developed a highly successful chain of gyms locally and was in high demand nationally as a coach...now moving to Los Angeles.
Here is that master bath I referenced. Like nothing I have never seen - and the rest of the house was very high end.
I was hoping my entry spoke for itself. Jets in tight formation performing at an air show. I imagine it made many a kid (and adult) dream to the skies. Perhaps one day a kid in the crowd will be the adult in that jet.
A very difficult topic to render visually, but some interesting entries.
Personally, I loved @akash.nu's shot; you hear so much about young love, but my own preference is for the less fashionable (and probably, less fleeting), and most certainly, much less seen, objet d'art known as older love (which comes with - perhaps less passion, but more knowledge, affection, and warmth.)

Well done everyone. I suspect the lack of entries maybe due to holiday season.
Anyway I’ve got my 200-500mm so I’m all set for the safari. Just need someone to send me a ticket and arrange for a week or two off!

I just ordered a 25mm 1.7 prime for my G85, so I’m eagerly awaiting my first “nifty fifty” (equivalent). I have a 100-300 on my wishlist as well.
I bought a 50mm for a trip a few years back. Hardly used it since.
I’m just not a prime sort of guy.
Yeah, I got it mainly for indoor work. I’m often asked to take pictures of various household events, so I’m hoping it helps in that regard.
As I head to Switzerland next week, actually leaving the a7rIII at home actually going light and only taking the A6000 and 2 kit lens...plus the Full Frame 35 and 55 primes. Never really use a tele and the kit 55-210 is far more compact. What I will miss is the 16-35 as that is such a walk-around lens for me, and I don't have the crop sensor equivalent.

Thanks for the kind words. I felt exactly the same while taking that’s shot.
Thanks oblomow and congrats awash.nu and everyone that entered,
It was a fun topic!
Your comments are pretty much exactly the sentiments I was trying to convey.
It's a triptych from a trip to a MetroPark that I hike in often. It was from just after I had been hospitalized for a massive unprovoked DVT in my right leg. This was my first trip out shooting after I was able to hike again.
The blurs were something I was experimenting with due to my impaired mobility at the time. Also, it's been so f*cking hot this week that the Winter scenes seemed like a beautiful cool dream when I went looking for an entry
.Honestly, I didn't think I had a realistic chance of winning with my entry and was just trying to bump the thread. I've been dealing with some new health issues over the last couple of weeks and that's why I just cut and pasted a link to my pic.
I'll have a new topic tomorrow.
Anyway, keep on dreaming fellow photogs!
Ed
