--------- VOTING CLOSED ---------

I vote for Number 1. I think of sunlight as warming and this is the only one that gives me a feeling of warmth. They are all excellent photos but only this one communicates "warm" to me.

I vote for #3. I like the color, composition and the lighting.

I hesitated between #1 and #8. I vote for #8 because it shows letting the light (if not the sunshine) in. I aree with Bob on the Alex Colville air.

I vote for #8

Tough choice again. I love the shading and sharpness in #7 so it gets my vote. I'm drawn into this one the most. I want to walk through that door and feel the warmth of the sun hit my skin.

I vote for Numero Uno (1)...nothing like a sunbath to refresh one's energy! We should all have them once in a while...same goes for "catnaps"! My second vote goes to # 8.
Cheryl 26-Apr-2010 18:27
#1 is my choice

I will also vote for number 8.
That picture almost has an Alex Coleville quality, great detail and tenderness in the narrative.
The only improvement I would have suggested is in the outside detail in the window, and maybe improve sharpness a bit. All told a great picture still.

No. 3 is interesting, but a very hard thing to do to shoot straight at the sun; The camera's work causes the picture to look like it was shot at night.

No. 2 would could have been de-saturated a bit, and increased contrast to highlight the hand, an interesting concept.

I also liked no. 5, but the flower is a little too centered for my usual preferences; that said, you almost need to centre the shot to get this sun behind the flower, no other way possible, except to shoot wider and crop afterwards; great technique here.

I also like the cat; makes me want to nap for a while.

Another great crop this week.

Oh, and the silhouette of the kid on the car is fun too.

Number 8 .....Paul

I vote #8. Perfect transition from the night theme.
#4 caught my eye too, very 'karate kid'.

For me #8 has a story behind this photo - it is the picture that touches me most. (Black & white would look really good) I vote for this one. I would of loved to post the pictures I have taken but did'nt have the time last night.

This was a difficult challenge and I’m happy to see what everyone came up with!
Guest 26-Apr-2010 16:14
I vote for number 5 but I love 1 and 8 as well. They're all really nice pictures.
Guest 26-Apr-2010 16:05
I am choosing Number 1 as well. It is so natural.
Linda 26-Apr-2010 15:48
Number 1 gets my vote. A perfect picture depicting the joy of the morning sunshine on one's face (be it animal or otherwise!) ..... Thanks for sharing all, great pictures.
