Is it a real pic? Or a photoshop image? Plz don't mind...

I would love to know how you took this! It is pretty...

Awesome pic but has a PS look about it (could be that I am a newb and therefore don't really comprehend what I am seing) - can you explain the shot a little for me - I shall hold my vote till then.

Cropped pic taken with an extreme wide angle lens?

This is a real pic near Haystack Rock in OR taken 2 weeks ago. It's a pan of 14 shots. All I did was use a vignette on both sides of the sky.

Looks like an HDR panorama (but vignettes aren't allowed, I think?)

According to the rules vignettes are not allowed.

Thanks for the explanation and removing the vignette.

beautiful entry...

The children seem to be the main focus, not the elements.

This is pretty.. but I only "see" air and water... what it the third element??? I am thinking you might answer wind, but to me wind is nothing but air...lol

earth, water and wind are the elements.You can see the wind, from the movement of the table cover

Agree with author - but regardless, only 2 are required to be on theme

I was not arguing the validity of the photo... I was just trying to figure out the title...

I guess you could count the land mass as the third.

It could use a little more contrast, but I really like this one. GL

here you are, kyricom, a bit more contrast (but it was quite a dirty window)...

Just because an image is on theme, doesn't make it a good entry. Remember all aspects of the photo and not just if it matches the theme, i.e., focus, color, lighting, etc.

You're right Joshua. This is too serious a contest to place unperfect shots. I will stop.
