Thank you Mary Ann :)

I can't hide a bit of luck here (the shooting star), since I took this right out of the car, ready to go back home, and this is the one and only picture I shot of that scene :D
Glad you appreciated!

My only 10 in the challenge.

This is EXACTLY what I thought when this challenge came out.

Didn't have the time to shoot for it, but I'm glad to see this in blue! :)

Congrats.

This wins on the former (It fits the topic perfectly), but it doesn't work at all for me as a photograph outside of the challenge. I didn't vote on this, but I'd have given it my lowest score, due to it not being a wonderful photograph on its own standing. However, I'm only one person... *grin* And I'm only telling this to help you understand other people's ideas, not to criticize.

And I thank you for your feedback, Lydia!

This particular one was shot with the sole purpose of entering this challenge, It's not a picture I'm fond of, and I'm aware of the fact that it has only one leg to stand on!

Maybe this is an error I make, sometimes I tend to give too much importance to the challenge fitting, rather than the absolute value of a photography.

Anyway these are all different yet valid points of view.

Thanks again for stopping by!

This was shot on purpose, of course, they have the one in focus and with the right framing ;)

Thank you for commenting!

Inspired by the impressionist painters

This really makes me feel as I am watching to an impressionism painting.

The filter here truly gives justice to the overall picture.

Top5 for me.
