8. Moonlight on Turnagain Arm really fits the contest theme pretty good.

Some nice photos in this contest and soooo hard to take pics after the light has gone. Congrats to all that have entered.

25. I find something really beautiful about that zombie picture

There are many fantastic photos in this thread in particular, but I really like the Zombie.
She sort of looks like Sarah Jessica Parker, though that's not why I like it. I like the look on her face and the composition of the photo. It's striking.

27. Such talented photographers! I absolutely loved

being shown the beauty in ordinary things, caught in a moment in just the right light. For absolute beauty and timing the choice would have to be Night Rains. Those drops are just barely hanging on, so there's a sense of movement or anticipation to it. Simply gorgeous.

And who didn't jump when they scrolled to the tarantula? Sure, it's a spider. But there is that same sense of movement or anticipation that the photographer caught exactly right, just like the rain drops on the flower below it.

In the end I voted for streetlights at the marina. For some reason, I was attracted to the ordinariness of it- or seeing the beauty in the ordinary. I loved the color of the sky in contrast to the streetlights and that at just this time of day that combination makes all the cottages look so pretty. It made me quite philosophical. If we just open our eyes there's beauty all around us.
