    It's a real toughie this time :think2:
    Keeping in mind the theme: Serenity and Solitude'?

    1.
    Redstar: "Silent Snow".
    I like the balance of the picture and the serenity conveyed in the scene.

    2. Bilbo675: "Awestruck".
    Fits both of the criteria of the theme; I like the colour contrasts too.

    3. Jack Mc: "And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by" .
    I'm not a sea person, per se, nor even a boating/sailing person but, for some reason, that picture makes me itch to be on that boat, sailing out, on my own. It just calls to me!

    If I could have put more, I would have, because there are some wonderful interpretations of the theme in this month's entries. Thank you for the inspiration which all of the entries have given me. Good luck chums :blue thumb:

                1/ Just a Lonely Buoy ~ That's where I'd go to get it (serenity and solitude). Off shore.

                2/ Serene and alone ~ Nothing more serene than a swan. Well, maybe an owl.

                3/ Awestruck ~ If not for the sunsets and our youth...

                  So many fantastic entries this time, this isn't easy.
                  However:
                  1) shiney - 'serine and alone' - Grace, elegance and of course alone.
                  2) Bilbo675 - 'Awestruck' - Great sunset and lone spectator.
                  3) redstar - 'Silent Snow' - Beautiful take & fits the brief beautifully too.

                      1. Awestruck by Bilbo675 - just love this picture, and it fits the theme well

                      2. Silent snow by redstar - again, great photo, and fits the theme like a glove

                      3. By the light by wiseowl - lovely shot, fitting theme so well

                      Lovely to see so many different photos again, and getting a little insight into everyone's life, through the lens of their cameras!
