My pick at the best of the challenge. Meets the challenge without a lot of shoehorning, its dramatic, and boldly defies classic composition rules. Great image.
An amazing shot, and such a stand out from this challenge. everything about this is copletely bang-on, and very likeable. it just feels so very alive and is frankly wonderful in terms of colours, comoposition, presentation, focus... adding to favourites.
I think this is really nice - the focus is just right. I wonder though if the overall composition might have been better in a portrait, rather than a landscape, orientation - just curiosity on my part - I think it looks fine as is.
