  • I was so thrilled when I saw this had won, thank you for the votes. I SHOT IT, is my new obsession , I love looking at everyone's photos and vote for many. I shot this last week, I had grabbed my daughter's camera and went out to takes pics and wait for the sunset. This was taken at Harrison Bay, out of the 60 + pics. I took, only 2 or 3 were really good and this is my favorite. I was looking for something to put between me and the sunset, and this young Mimosa tree branch caught my eye, just as I was taking the pic. the wind blew the branch up and this is what I got. I used a Nikon D3100 with a 55-200 lens on auto, F/8, 1/250 sec, focal length 98 mm, iso 100, no flash. Only post editing I did was some cropping, Mother Nature did the rest. Thank you I SHOT IT and voters very much----Sonja

  • Hi everyone, and thanks for all the votes! My name is Ed Lim. This photo of Shanghai's Pudong financial district is captioned “Mono Shanghai” on my photo site: http://500px.com/edlim. It was shot in August 2013 from the Shanghai Bund using a Leica M (Typ 240) camera with a 15mm Zeiss Distagon lens. Subsequent image conversion to B&W and post processing was done using Silver Efex Pro 2 plugin within Photoshop CS6. Some of my other works can be viewed at my portfolio link below.
