Thanks, Thumper.

Thanks Elise. You know your comments mean a lot to me!

:) :) :)

You're too kind. Just pleased to be in the top 25!

I appreciate your vote, Holly, and your encouragement. I love your crab shot. Best wishes on finishing at the top!

Thank you Nina!

Oops...you're right. I thought you had two in.

Clint, I only have one piece that made it in. Carlein, MJ and Mineowneye have two each. I don't know how the judges will ever choose just 6 from all these great works!

Thanks for your vote, Cindy! With two pieces each in the final 25 I like the chances you and MJ have. It's all good...

Thanks Helen!

Thanks, ElsB! There are so many superlative pieces in the competition and I'm pleasantly surprised this shadow on the side of a building was among them!

Thanks, Cloudy! I'm more than surprised - but pleased - this made the cut. I appreciate your support!

@holly - I just found and posted one of the other location snaps of this shot. Titled "the setting"

@holly - Thank you. The shadow was unspectacular in and of itself. It was the position and drama of the cracked stucco that drew me in. I snapped a few images in ProCam before the sun faded thinking it might be interesting background for a blend but each time I tried something I kept coming back to the original.

So no effect applied? Wow, having a hard time picturing this in the real world! Well seen my friend!
