    Several photos caught my eye, Rich, Roger, Eli, and Trevor's, all spectacular for sure.

    And Dave wins the bravery award. (I just know I would end with a bike in the water eventually, if I did what he did)

    But voting for Cowboyup....Wonderful photo, Scott!

          So much to like. Would have voted for Oramac, but have to throw it out on the technical grounds that it's a still from a video (a great one though). Don't think there's anything in the rules about it, just gives be a "meh"feeling about in a photo contest.
          I like Cowboy' for the great colors and lines
          Dave's for the great angle
          Bob's for the funny take on the theme.
          Gustovh - who else would include in an "edge" photo a sword he made himself?
          Eli's is wonderful, but for the antenna.
          Roger's endless chasm was a very close second for me.

          Voting for Trevor. Normally I like more room in front of the bike, but everything in this photo works for me: the haze covering the sun, the very faint line of the horizon, the framing of the trees. Love it.

                A tough choice this week. There is something about Cowboys edge of the road image that stands out. I just pulled out the colour wheel and see that tints of the pictures three main colours, blue, yellow and red, are perfectly equidistant. A classic triadic colour scheme it says. Apparently there is a psychological something that 'feels right' when colours are patterned in a precise relationship.

                  Thanks Rich...that "haze" is actually smoke from wild fires through out BC a few years ago. It was crazy.

                    It's wonderfully eerie. Very Halloweenie.

                    Speaking of. Anyone check out the little Halloween Mini game when you click on the Google logo today?

                      Burque73 gets my vote this week.
                      As much for the pic but also the climb to get the shot....."suffering" for the craft.

                          Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
