Congratulations Christa on your win here and also Trester for your second place. Well done to all contestants for making this a great competition.

Meine Glückwünsche gehen an dich, Christa, für dein Siegerbild und an dich, Herb, für den zweiten Platz, den ich gerne mit dir teile! Ich wusste gleich, dass eure Bilder gut sind, denn ich habe sie gewählt.
Meine Anerkennung gilt auch den vielen schönen Bilder aller Teilnehmer.

Thank you Herb and Wilhelm for your praise and congratulations on your 2nd places. And many thanks to all the voters for my picture. Also congratulations to all participants - well done to all.
For the next CWP I propose "Children" : a snapshot when they are sleeping, playing, laughing, joking, running, eating or whatever.
Best wishes from Christa.

Christa thank you for the theme "Children" I will get it ready for next month. It was nice to see that every body voted in this months contest.

Congratulations to Christa , tester and Herb 3 wonderful images to celebrate Autumn

I miei complimenti a Voi Christa1004, trester88, Herb Riddleper le Vostre foto senza dimenticare tutti gli altri partecipanti un saluto a tutti Bruno.

Christa1004 so che scegliere il contest del mese è sempre difficile e la mia non vuole essere una critica nei tuoi confronti, ma solo una mia riflessione. Il contest "Children" a mio parere soggettivo io lo eviterei, anche perchè ci sono regole ben precise per pubblicare in rete foto di minorenni, ciao con amicizia Bruno.

I think this is a valid comment, when I first saw the subject I thought not for me a subject I avoid it can create problems for the photographer, but on consideration it should be alright if care is taken, if the child can be identified the parents must have agreed to the photo being on a photo sharing site, if the child can't be identified it should be alright a silhouette for example a statue or a copy of a very old photo

I guess you're right unfortunately, Bruno. I wasn't looking at it from the point of view of today's life and its new rules, I was just seeing a possible subject for everyone, on every continent. In that case, I'll better change the theme for next month. I'll be back soon with a new topic.

Yes Peter, see my answer to Bruno, it's better I'll change the topic.

For the new topic I suggest the "Blue Hour", the time between day and night when the sky fills almost entirely with a darker blue than the daytime sky blue.

Christa Thank you I will make the needed changes.

Complimenti al podio! brava Christa!
Bene, mettiamoci alla ricerca dell'ora blu!
Un cordiale a saluto a tutto il gruppo
Mariagrazia
