                I need to mention Spyder's pic. Probably his strongest submission todate. (that I remember anyway)

                Trevors pic is interesting in that the wind turbins are lined up kinda like the bikes and the people are lined up.

                And I like bob baatfam, step-way-back-zoom-in-on-the-distant-thing-so-it-fills-the-background. The picture frame is filled with the intersting aspect of the dam, and went to effort to include the bike (or portion). All the other folks that were there probably got out of their car, walked away from thier car, an took a picture that included the entire dam - boring.

                BUt the picture that is the most impressive is Jedz.
                Voting for Jedz. Interesting how the windmill is in silloutte and can see most of the tower. Intersting how the windmill is a small element in the pic in terms of size, but is a major point in terms of the attention it draws, eyes keep comming back to it. I suspect the coloration is not entirely what was present there on that occasion, but voting for the pic as nicely arranged-composed. And voting to help celebrate his wedding day har har har. Well, celebrate .... or taking opportunity to cause him trouble (what are friends for anyway).

                    Ditto all that Dave said. Also voting for Jedz123. Love this pic. I also want to see him win and explain to his bride that he'll be late for the wedding because he has to go riding and get a pic for next week's theme.
                    Seriously, congrats on the nuptials J. Wish you the best.

                          Would we be surprised ? ? if he was already intending to be riding to the ceremony?? or away?? or each person in the wedding party riding one of his bikes??
                          Then think of the picture topic-theme he could have! ! har har har

                          har har har
                          I am just joking around.
                          Am not campaigning for Jedz pic this week.
                          Ya'll vote for the pic you like as best picture.

                            Voting for Trevor this week. Looks like a fun day. Funny how nearly all riders are taking pictures of the wind generators.
