I LOVE #3! but in my haste I voted for the wrong one. Who shot #3? Although the winning pic was very well done, the "sunset" shots are pretty common around here.
Shooting the Moon had to be a bit of a challange I'm sure. That was what I wanted to shoot but we had rain when the full moon came around.
Several other shots had nothing to do with "natural light" what so ever....
All and all, it was great to see so many entries!
...wonder what the next topic will be?
Can I request maybe "Rain" (got plenty these days)

#3 was mine. Thanks for your comments and interest - appreciated. I wanted to try to make the "natural light" the subject of the photo, so I chose to include the moon (just to be different to sunset shots ). The problem was going to be that the moon had to be behind to MINI to get it in the photo, which meant the car would have been in silhouette. So I chose the full moon not just because it is bright, but because it always rises at sunset - I had a second source of natural light on the other side of the sky. What's illuminating the MINI is actually the last light of twilight, except for the lunar reflections off the hood.
FYI the photo was 1.6 seconds (the camera worked out f2.8 and ISO 800 for that). Afterwards I boosted the saturation to bring out the colour in the MINI and foreground a bit better - made the sky bluer too, which I liked.

I agree with you, Kurt has really completely spoiled us. I honestly wasn't going to enter this month because I didn't think the sunset was all that great in my photo. It had mostly fizzled out by the time I took the photo.

+1 Kudos to pw4 for a job well done.
I also liked #6, but something seemed wrong about it. Looking at the colors on the trees, then checking the EXIF data confirmed it. Still a nice photo though.

Be careful what you wish for!

It will be posted up later today. Sorry, NAM was down at 5am PST and that's when it should've been done.
I'll crack the whip when Dave gets home.
Just so he knows, I really appreciate him doing this.
