Sorry for the delay folks...we shot a wedding last night and I am very totally exhausted in mind and body...but..

Thanks everyone for the submissions, and the unique approach to the challenge! Very difficult to decide, love 'em all.

3rd place goes to Mary for the total abstract feel of flight..beautiful colors and rhythm

2nd place goes to Joseph with his abstractive approach to the work..way to think outside the box! An excellent example of the LB's ability to depict movement.

1st place goes to agroupuk...a masterful image of color and softened background. As well, an excellent example showing the power of the suggested form lay not always in the "focus" but in its relation to the moment....
Bravo!

thanks all!

Wonderful challenge and entries and I look forward to the next one - Mary

Wow, I won.

Never expected that considering how good everyone else's stuff was.

Great pictures all!

Now what do I do? :) (I am new on the forum so...)

Cheers all.
