Pity there were few entries, but that didn't make judging any easier! The entries were very good!

I had a really hard time between MikeL's, Ray's, Tarzak's, RML's and Marc's...well...all; Memphis' was interesting.

After a lot of wrestling, it came down to just between RML's and Marc's. RML's has a beautiful composition and engages you to look at the elements in it, and it is dominated by water...then the reflection, then whatever is floating on it.

Marc's has a beautiful interpretation, with a human element in it, and a great composition that is both disciplined and breaking away from convention. You can see raindrops falling, and the umbrellas simply underline this water theme.

I can't look away from either.

After much much deliberation. Marc's "Ballet under Eiffel Tower" is it. Is there a sweaty smiley with a hand fan?
 
Thanks a lot Gabriel 🙂
Merci, c'est un honneur. It's an honnor taht you selected my pictures for several wonderful pictures have been submitted (Ray: I'm drifting away in an oriental dreamy world when I look at your picture ... cool water running on your arms by hot days ... making mint tea ... just wonderful).

Many many thanks again 🙂

Marc-A.
