Okay, sorry I'm late but here are comments ...

stillcrazyman - Nice pic of b&w cats sharing a classic disinterested attitude with us. I like the low angle point-of-view.

mollyc - I love the textures of the fog and dew and the light though the trees in this pic.

akash.nu - A nice pic of a snowy mountaintop hike. I can feel the cold damp air in my lungs.

Hughmac - A nice range of colors in the tree blossoms contrasting nicely with the blue sky.

tizeye - I get that weird sense of excitement, boredom and anxiety that we feel when traveling. The colors of the coatings on the plane’s windshield are interesting too.

Somepix - Well-composed image of clouds and trees. I’d love to see this one in b&w.

oblomow - We get a sense of unease from the normalcy of the scene vs. the old warning sign. It’s hard to know what we should be worried about.

Strider64 - An intricately detailed Lego street scene. A nice example of the use of the inherent shallow depth-of-field of cellphone cameras at close range.

Darmok N Jalad - I like the low angle point-of-view and the interesting reflections in the pond water.

Donka - I like that you took the effort to position the sunburst to be the Kelpie’s Eye. The pic is well-exposed given the wide dynamic range of the scene.

inkmich - I like the moody range of tones in this b&w pic of a Brooklyn restaurant at night.

Mactendo - It’s a nice pano of a horizontally flowing scene.

Janichsan - I like the mood of the angel watching over the fallen.

iMac wannabe - I have a soft spot in my heart for Lake Louise. It’s where I started with photography in 1977 using a Minolta 110 camera on a bicycle camping trip in the Canadian Rockies. Your pano takes me right back there. The reflection is nice and it’s a great spot for a pano.

Picking a winner was challenging because I left the subject matter wide open.

In the end I went with akash.nu's atmospheric mountain hike pic as First Place.

Second Place goes to Strider64, stillcrazyman, mollyc and Donka.

I really liked all the pics and it was hard to choose.
Thanks to everyone that entered and congrats akash.nu,
Ed

Congratulations Akash.nu

While I have quite a few iPhone photos, planned that one for the contest as opposed to posting last years. Then was the gate assignment at the very end of the gate corridor with no opportunity for a profile. Edelweiss has a nice paint job other than the nose cone. Flight was OK other than the seats (economy upgrade) were hard as rocks. Although after flying a 747, there is no comparison. Loved Virgin Atlantic, But Gatwick's people management and EasyJet are a different issue. Found this Direct Orlando to Zurich so though would try it...but will keep looking.

Edelweiss was OK, but discovered after reserving the flight that their one day a week flight schedule (Friday’s) doesn’t work in my favor eliminating the final weekend, plus arriving on a Saturday. Almost flew Lufthansa - still flying 747’s this year but recent order to replace - but aborted the reservation when saw seating, 3 across along windows where Virgin was 2 across, eliminating sitting with a stranger and I would have the middle as wide wants the aisle to avoid a crawl over.

Oops @redshifted , thanks a lot! That dreaded position! Congratulations to everyone for your participation and fellow podium winners.

I’ll be back with next week soon. A bit too late today here in the UK. Hopefully by tomorrow I would be able to come up with something.
