Gorgeous B&W! I love the contrast between the dark sky at the top and the light sand at the bottom and all the details in the grasses. Congrats on your HM!

Beautiful, meticulous photograph. It's not (quite) my top pick, but it's the best photograph by far in terms of craftsmanship, and I reckon it will win you the blue ribbon. You might not be fortified by that: I've never successfully picked a blue ribbon winner in my six years here.

Oh Jason...I'm happy to see this one do well for you. Such a compelling and deeply emotive sky. (Hmmmm...and I suspect those cheerleaders are hiding behind those reeds! Cheerful entertainment should never be far from a stormy heart!) Good Luck to you! (No vote...just lurking).
