Alan, very nice coastal images, especially the Harris Beach shot. I like your Grosvenor’s Arch shot too, we visited there and reminds me I should re-edit one for Salvage Saturday. The Paria toadstools image is a good choice with the slightly curved bands of color upon the curved rock formations themselves.Finding shots without curves would have been harder for me

Doug, the Canadian Rockies image is very interesting with the many folds pictured and the curve where the rock meet the sky. Of course the North Window is so beautiful and a good image for the task. The White Sands shot is also perfect for the task today.

Kyle, another beautiful set of images—the light of the Tenaya Lake image is striking—beautiful. The Bowling Ball Beach shot is also striking with the light and composition. I also like your Swan River’s reflection and the Iceland shot as well.

Really nice images, Jeffrey.

Beautiful set as usual, Kyle. Is that a bubble of water in the geyser image just as it gets ready to erupt? If so, that is a fantastic image.

I recognize your second image (of course!) but not the first—both are very well composed I especially like the first’s framing—very, very nice!
Fun task and some wonderful images. A couple from me.
