Glad you won, Hefty !!! I kept my fingers crossed for you

Mikew gave me a really good laugh ! I must say, it would have got a special prze from me - for idea !

A good theme it was - and not easy. I was even surprised, how hard it is to make a pic about sth dare to you so that the others would get at least a slight idea about what you ment.... ( I am not very sure about the result)
BTW - there is also a reflection of a heart on the clock

Thanks, Ken, for judgement.
Waiting your new theme, Hefty

Like yours, Hefty

Oh, Mikew, You have a good life

Between these more than century old walls is the place of my heart and soul. Place that gives me strength and where time flows totally different.

I have cleaned the logs with my own hands. The laces (on the reflection) are my grandma's.
I have spent in this house all my free time since childhood. For about 25 years I have dreamed to live here all year round.
Now I do ! for almost 3 years already I am at home at last !

Thanks !
Thats the point ! I somehow realized, thet it must be VERY broad theme actually.

I am still puzzled about the theme. Serenity is an absolutely new word for me. I may read the dictionary and the explanation, but I am still not sure what else it is besides calm water (weather) and sunset
So the forum is not only a place to learn photography, but also the language

Ok, Thanks, JR !

Oh, John !
I really tried to choose the pic ! Of course !
I hoped its obvious.

People's taste may be totally different ! And what they expect from the theme.
David, you've put it down very nicely

For example, if the seadog was just running in the water (with the pic being of the same good quality) david would have been sure winner. BUT, there was wave coming just behind the dog. That made me the moment !

Thats why its really interesting, when participants name their fav after the judgement as well.

two hours

The theme has been in my mind for a longer period ! Just waited my turn

Oh. Mr Mellow! And you really didnt post !
True it is, I have liked the humor in some of your pics.

Glad that you liked the theme, David
I am repeating myself: I still like your entry!
But it was hard to decide for me. It really was.
I hope you all agree, that if the pics are quite equal, then its nice to give "new" ones some chance.

As not medal owners:
JudithAnn, Mhuni and also Hefty are the entries that "warmed" me a lot.

JudithAnn ! You can bet, that I want to have a rest from this judging ! Maybe I took it too much seriously
I wonder what pics others would have chosen ?!
