38. Thanks so much. I had to vote for myself too! That was from the island, Paros

Really beautiful island. We had a blast there and get to go back this year - probably to Ios and Santorini. Will take more tranquil photos for everyone.

48. I am so jealous!

I hear Santorini is outstanding! I can't wait to see more wonderful photos!

7. Wow! Hard to pick a favorite, as the saying goes

but I keep going back to look at Long, Still Shadows on Snow. It captures the theme perfectly, and goes deeper, somehow. The simple beauty of the scene is deceptive - it takes a very sharp eye, and maybe some luck, to capture this sort of image. Don't know if this is film or digital and whether it was originally shot in color. In any case, the tonal range is excellent, and the darkest elements have a velvety quality. It's extraordinary.

Kudos to all the entrants, though. Wonderful theme, and a wonderful batch of photos.

9. Wow. These just keep getting better and better. Thanks for

bringing these to our attention. Since I know nothing about photography, I would probably never see these. Kicking for a bunch of talented people with a camera.
