Yea, life is so hectic... mostly work, crazy busy for over a year now, so much so I do not want to look at my own computer screens, TV or anything at end of day. Looking to make a change soon... less than two years to retiring, not how I want to spend the twilight years of my career.Hi Dee! Haven’t seen you in a while!
Don’t blame you.

I’d find it very hard to say goodbye to that Scenery. Lovely capture.A final goodby HipstaX View attachment 183028
You know I always say 'I didn't expect that' but erm I didn't expect that! So many interesting images on this thread and double thanks Ann for reminding us, but me in particular, how a crop, even a fixed ratio crop can really lift an image. I must admit I've really got out of the habit of trying different crops so lesson learnedThis was so difficult. I couldn’t make up my mind. In the end, I made my decision on a selection of images rather than one single Image. I’m sorry if this is rather like the Mutual Admiration Society but the winner for me is sinnerjohn John.
I thought sinnerjohn really nailed the 16:9 format and the photo from Harlech Castle was particular eye catching. I also loved the lake, Greek and sheep images. This is your format, John.

Second, and so nearly first, I loved terse ‘s Ted beach image. So atmospheric and I could feel myself there.

Then I must mention both deepop David for his Uluru panorama and Geek1956 Kevin for his beach image with a pop of red. Also strong contenders. Well done.
Great theme Ann! Congratulations to John - you really nailed the pano/16:9 theme. I particularly loved the sheep and the Greek images too. Good work from terse Ted too and from everyone who posted actually. I seldom (never) use the 16:9 format, but will do in future, so thank you Ann.This was so difficult. I couldn’t make up my mind.

FundyBrian used to say that you have to rotate around your phone so that the phone is at the centre and not you at the centre. Is this the way you do it?Great Choices. Love them both. Must have been hard to choose. Congrats John and Ted!
