    Tough call this week. All great entries. I'm split between Trevor, an Baatfam... Just really love the bikes. Coin flip says, it's Trevor for my vote...

      I'm going with Kerfunk. I get a feeling of someone who had a little fun setting up the scene.......

          Redman with the airbox reflection is my favourite this week.
          Although my choice may have been affected by too much Halloween candy.

            Well gang, I'm gonna call it.

            8 submissions so far.
            13 votes.
            I have not seen a contest with more than 14 votes, and we have a pretty clear winner already.

            kerrfunk, dorkburger, and Rich82GS750TZ all got one vote each
            Redman received two (and Redman, I didn't see a vote from you, and I know you're not available this morning)
            gustovh received two votes, or three, if his "I like my picture" is considered a vote for himself.

            and trevor received five.

            If somebody thinks it's premature to call it, then say so, but we have thirteen votes in, and it would take another three to overturn trevor.
            Steve, I know you submitted a picture and didn't vote, but again, it would take two or three to overturn trevor.

            Good theme, dorkburger. I like the submissions, although selfishly I wish the theme had been either Halloween or harvest and not both, but it's a game and we're all having fun and that is all that matters.

            Trevor, congratulations on your fourth win! Let us know what the next theme is!

              And trevor it is! Congradulations

              A four time winner should be able to come with a killer theme, but just in case, here are the past themes for inspiration.

                And BTW trevor, I couldn't help but play with your picture a bit. Hope you don't mind.



                Mostly I just removed excess pixels from the top, bottom, and a little from the left side. To my eye, they really weren't helping to tell the story.

                Doesn't make one better than the other, but it is fun to make different photos, from the same photo.

                    How about a pic at "dusk"....I don't think we have done this....

                    This was taken about 4 years ago on the way home from the pnw gs rally that was held at Sandy's home in Cranbrook BC...

                    This was taken on my descent into Osoyoos BC....I always stop here for a pic....This was on my 1983 GS1100E...cheers

                        Thanks! I would love us to get away from "riding game" style pics...more about the photo than what's in it.

                            No problem.
                            My understanding is voting is Friday till midnight Pacific time, regardless of if submitters have voted or not.
                            (Voting to go into Saturday in event of tie. First tie breaker decides it.)

                            Good subject-theme.
                            Somewhat specific but allows for a range of scenes and compositions.... and a bit of a photographic challenge in terms of exposure.

                            Made me wonder if I really know about the difference between "dusk" and "sunset".
                            I suppose is one of those things where I seem to have a general idea, but not sure of the specific definition. Thought other folks might have the same question. Have looked into it, and seems that dusk is after the sun has set (top of sun below horizon) but sun light still shining up on the sky. So, if can still see the sun (or sun THRU the clouds) then that is not dusk (okay, so that eliminates about 98% of my shots from what I would have thought.)

                              I used this shot before but it actually fits better here. Taken just after the sun went over the horizon.

                                I'm back. Been a busy summer and haven't been around much. Traveling, mountain biking, kayaking ...it's tough life being retired. Anyway here's one from a number of years ago taken during the evening at one of Vince's rallies when we went to a local park to play with the cameras.
