I realized I had picked a difficult topic when I posted the Challenge, but I also realized that a wide variety of images would be posted. I was not wrong and a decision was difficult for me to make as every image posted was good.
Honorable Mentions:
Chris Bladon: Really shows the effects of the weather on these football players. Great tones with this processing.
Chris Lock: Really nice perspective with this "island" of trees and fog all the way to the horizon.
Maaike Huizer: Great perspective with the this line of trees disappearing an the snow coming down at this angle. Really conveys the scene well.
Third Place: Arnie Peterschmidt: The more I look at this image, the more I like it. The placement of the house is really nice and I really like the tones and perspective.
Second Place: Dennis Camp: Great shot of the ferry in this steam like fog. The man standing with this pose, the figure in the wheel house and the tops of the trees all really contribute.
First Place: Bartosz Kotulski: An amazing photograph with these colors in the sky and then also reflected. Really like all the light sources, the subject matter and detail. Nice placement of the waterline too!
Congratulations, it's up to you now Bartosz.
