Well this is getting harder every month. Specially since they are all from different "schools", they are all outright winners. In the end, I had to go with Kris' masterful sketch. I was astounded by krneki's Leo Trio on DSLR! OMG it looks like hubble pic! Florent's M51 is pure eye candy, so beautiful and sharp - you must see the pic in its full glory in his web site... I haven't seen such detail on Venus before from the ground on swalkers offering, UV is the trick huh? Finally, I have to say that Dragon Man should be kicked out of the beginners forum!!! - great detail in the low S/N areas!
Congratulations all! keep them coming!
