What's the record for honorable mentions?! It was so difficult to exclude a number of photos, but in the interest of keeping it somewhat reasonable I reduced the list as follows:
Honorable Mentions in no particular order:
Third Place to John (Sylvester) for this particularly attention-grabbing cloud pattern:
Second Place to Walter (amoxtli) for this vivid and compelling burst of color:
First Place to Jola (jolka) for a photo I enjoy because it is particularly busy without stealing my attention away from the beautiful sky.
