[JulieM]

Such an amazing diversity of work is presented here and it was truly a pleasure to review the some 348 images posted to the galleries this week. Many more are worthy of recognition but here are my picks for TAG IOW:

Norma's pink Chrysler has won my heart! Perfect composition and fabulous use of light.

I can't take my eyes off this image of the lone snow-crusted leaves. Superbly lit photo, beautifully presented.

I just love the surreal effect of this "cartwheel in the culvert" image.

This is a lovely example of a page using the "Scraps of Pink" kit created by the PET Design Team to support breast cancer research. Find information here (http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30129).

I'm just starting to get into IOW, and after checking it for the last couple of times I am in awe of the work involved in the selection process. I take my hat off to all of you people that have taken so much time (and probably got a few headaches in the process) to make it possible.

Norma, I also really love your car. And to everyone else, congratulations on your great work.

An insurmountable task Julie, but I feel you made the right choice. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm humbled to get tag IOW. There are so many incredible images and incredibly talented people on this site. And Sela was so pleased for me. Thanks Sela. It's so nice to get kudos. Now my husband's trying to figure out how I can support him with this habit, I mean hobby.
Oh, and Julie, you can name my images anytime. That was perfect!

[JulieM]

It's a terrific image, Coco! Now, can you share how you created it?

[snidely]

Hi,
Thank you, Julie, for choosing my photo - the time I spent freezing my shutter off was worth it. :D

I love the other selections you made and I definitely feel honored to be in such good company.

Congratulations to all the winners,
Steve

[Lorri]

Congratulations to all selected.

And thanks to our judge for her efforts in choosing and for a creative presentation of the winners!

Sure Julie, I'd love to. I selected my son, Danny, (sela's son's gymnastics buddy) from this picture

and put it in this picture

rotated and flipped a copy of Danny 180 degrees, reduced the opacity and applied a little bit of ocean ripple filter. All things I've learned on this site from such helpful people willing to share.

Coco, that is so cool! It seemed to me that the handstand probably wasn't performed in several inches of water in a culvert but little did I know that it was actually performed on the edge of a cliff! :eek: The effects you applied are really outstanding. Thanks for explaining...
