Allows Edits? YesWow! This is awesome. Thank you Robert for doing this.
Congratulations Charmaine on photo of the year. Such a sweet image and I really enjoy your wildlife photos.
Congratulations Rob. This is a truly magical photo.
I thank everyone who voted. This image of the setting sun was photographed from my balcony with a macro attachment on the mobile. I then edited it in Distressed FX app to give a painterly feel.
I love this app and it is one of my most favourite right now. I am working on doing a collection like this and printing them later using some interesting technique and may be have an art wall or something 🙂

Congratulations Charmaine and Dahlia! Two lovely images with masterful processing. I’m so pleased to be included in this group with you both.
Thanks to everyone who voted for these three pictures and the many other images that were in the group Robert presented. Picking only three was a very hard task for me as I’m sure it was for you. Thank you Robert for taking the time to do this!
My image was taken in Iceland near Vestrahorn which we had just driven past. One of the fun things about Iceland is the horses. They’re like friendly puppies and always come up to the fence for a pat and some fresh grass from the other side. If there’s anything to say about my image it’s that there originally was a fence in it. Post processing usually brings some challenges so thanks for accepting it’s removal. Photoshop continues to amaze me with it’s capabilities.

Allows Edits? YesCongratulations, everyone! Each well deserved. @dahliaambrose and now I am hooked on the same app all because of this image. @reyers loved reading about the horses – large shaggy puppies. I had heard of the icelandic ponies but not seen them. @joubie your wild animal shots always have such an emotional component – humor, intensity, lounging, regal, comforting. I appreciate seeing the wild world through your lens.

Allows Edits? YesWow, what a wonderful surprise and thank you for all the votes. Congratulations to Dahlia and I too, am now using your app. Congratulations Rob, this pony image has always been one of my favourite images.
This image was taken in Addo very early one morning. The little one was only a few weeks old and still unsure and wobbly on it’s feet. As the herd rushed to the water hole it stumbled and fell. We watched with bated breath hoping it wouldn’t get trampled in the chaos and confusion but mom came to the rescue and helped it up with her trunk. The noise and chaos attracted a massive bull elephant. Again we watched with bated breath and awe as it gently touched the baby with it’s huge trunk. I was so fortunate that this all happened in front of us and the beautiful morning light illuminated baby amongst all the trunks and legs and I was able to capture the tender moment.

Congratulations Charmain, Dahlia and Rob!!! Three beautiful images that rose to the top among many other terrific images that made choosing just three each week difficult. And thanks again to Robert Apple who put it all together. And of course Rob Wood who I think had a little to do with all this. 🙂

Allows Edits? YesCongratulations Charmaine, Dahlia and Rob, lovely images all of them.
Charmaine, your wildlife photos are amazing and a true pleasure to look at for one living in the totally different world of the cold and barren north. The winning photo is just one among many of yours deserving the title “photo of the year”.
Dahlia, you image is priceless – a piece of art !
Rob, love your photo of Icelandic horses, the soft light and beautiful colours.
Big thanks to Robert for all the work and effort.

Congratulations to Charmaine, Dahlia, and Rob. Your images have been inspirational to me. In the short time that I have been a member, I have learned so much from you about composition and tone, not to mention the technical aspects of taking a memorable photo. And thanks, Robert, for your work in the selection of these memorable photos.
