Not quite sure why no. 5 (which is stunning) was in the "Nature" category rather than "Places". And silenttex suggested an alternative caption for no. 4: "Tried something that didn't work the way I expected. Liked the result."

Beautiful! Thanks for linking. I especially like 1 and 3.

Some of those are indeed fantastic, some of them are a bit meh. The first and last are standouts to me.

Aye, I rather like the last one, too!

3rd and last ftw :) Oh, they didn't!
