I'm surprised this newest version (for Hidden Gem VII) didn't do better than the one that got the Blue back in 2007. A 7.5537 score is hard to beat though. :)

One of my top picks. Lovely capture!

I like the processing this time much better than last, although that one did make the Top 5. :-)

Hey! How could you be in our neck of the woods and not say hello? That would have been fun. Wendy ( vawendy), Mary ( MaryO), Daniel ( The Eskimo), and I, are all within a reasonable distance from this site. Which reminds me, how come I haven't been there in years? :-) Need to go back. Did you see George Washington's signature?

A little like a Waldo challenge ... find the photographer! :-) I see you (at least I think it's you).

New PB?! That's awesome. Congrats! I had this picked for Blue myself. Great capture. The timing, the color, the in-your-face intersecting lines. Sweet.

I liked the view overall. Seems to be lacking some 'oomph' (appears a bit flat). A little post work on this would have kicked it up higher in the results I think. Still ... Top 5. :-) Congrats.

This was one of my favorites in this challenge. Unique and well processed. I wonder how it would have done if the concentration (main subject) was only the lower part (just below the tangled 'something' in the upper third)? Would have had that stem on the left by itself then, but that could be removed. Anyway, nice find and well presented.
