It was hard not to add a second 8 to the 8 finals this month. Thank you all for your contributions.

 

And thank you to Michael V, who again helped me with the tech issues.

Great selections.  Thank you Ed for including my image, at least one place i can find my image today and be proud

 

Congratulations to everyone else...

[NYCat]

Thank you for including Giraffe Manor. What a dream it was to stay there. I was in tears when I had to leave. I doubt the image can compete with the others but it is happy news to find it here.

Not half it can't! A giraffe that looks like it's walking through a Cotswolds village?  Surreal. It's outstanding.

Thank you for Downunder Ed.

[John Mitchell]

Thanks for including my Pyramid of the Sun image, Edo.

[Allan Bell]

I am surprised that Gen's image has not had more votes. It takes effort to produce that effect and it sums up Australia to a "T".  It cannot be mistaken for anywhere else in the world.

 

Guess which image I voted for.

 

YES! YES! I agree others are just as good in their own way but I could only vote for one.

 

OH! And thank you to the person who has voted for my image.🙂

This will get the comments coming in now.

disclaimer, i wasn't the one who voted for your image, it was my runner up,  but it made me stop because it did capture the essence of "Landmark"  in a i would love to meander and come upon that.  Geneviève's image is a great stock photo, which i actually give points in these monthly contests.

Great selection of photos, hard to choose just one !

Thank you Jean-Francois (I'm not on my tablet, so you won't get the cedilla, sorry...)

Another thank you to the second person who voted for my image.

Wim is the clear winner of the March 2022 Challenge! His was a perfectly executed capture of a major landmark. Congratulations, Wim. The baton is now in your hands.

 

Thank you to the voters and the other 7 finalists. I tried to make each pick for a different reason. And of course I had to like each of  them.

 

Edo

[gvallee]

Well done Wim. Your shot could not be mistaken for any other landmark!

[Michael Ventura]

Congrats Wim, a beauty of a photo. Looking forward to your challenge subject!

[Allan Bell]

Great topic wim whatever it is going to be.

[wiskerke]

Thank you all! 

Just seeing this.

I remember thinking yesterday: I should prepare some topic. Just in case.

Ouch. Gimme me a minute.

 

What do you think: some everyday thing?

Something current like war and peace?

Or just peace? 😂

Maybe not.
