Image of the Week August 27 - Sept. 2, 2018

[hmca]

We had the family visiting today.  While my original thought was to have the grandchildren choose the top three for this week, it ended up with everyone choosing their top three.  More than one person had a hard time narrowing
their choices to three and in the end everyone's image was chosen by someone.  

So our family has selected three runner-ups and one IOW.  In no particular order the runner-ups were:

1907 Redland Hotel - Nacogdoches, TX by L A Turner

A very novel approach to selecting this weeks IOW, Helen - loved the method chosen! I am pleased my image struck a chord with one of the family members. Well done to Len and Clive with special congrats to Dan for his splendid image taking out IOW honours.

Thanks Helen.

Lovely shots Len, Sydney and especially dandc.

Nice choices. I loved Sydney's clowns but honestly they also reminded me of a Stephen King movie.

[srmoment]

I'm with Blackmutt on this one!
Congrats everyone and kudos to you Helen for your IOW methodology!

Your family have got good taste, Helen.

Your landscape is wonderful, dandc.

[dandc]

What a great idea Helen - feels almost like winning a people's choice award ;^) Congratulations to all the winners chosen as well. This bunch just exemplifies the variety posted in the forum week by week as well as the talent displayed.

While maybe finding it difficult I bet the family had fun choosing the images Helen. Great idea. Congratulations to everyone and especially to dandc for IOW with his beautiful landscape.

Great selections, your family clearly has taste!
So well done to all those selected by clan hmca, and particularly to dandc for a dreamy and evocative IOW.

Good morning...depending on your location. 
I have been honoured to be selected as this week's IOW "judge." (Sept 3 to 9, 2018.)
This week's images will be reviewed on Sunday evening MDT or near midnight GMT. 
If you have images you wish to show off, please post them to your personal gallery in the next 30 hours or so. 
Have a great weekend. 
Thanks,
