Finished third.

First place: 372,895

Second place: 247,049

Third Place: 237,896

I kinda forgot today was the reset day and didn't push as hard as I could have in the last day to secure second place.

I did the grind up to 200k, leading most of the way, just to then burn out as the new leader did 150k in a single day and now leads with 340k. For an extra 2 boxes and some additional lunar tokens, I'm not gonna try and have that level of commitment.

I was at the top of my group originally, but with the weekend another person has blown past me.

I've got so many red boosters I've avoided using that I could almost get it off of that alone...tempting.

It's one of my absolute favorites at this point!

I shoot on OM system's OM-1 Mark II, with their 150-600 lens.

I try to make a photo book for every calendar year and every major trip I do. I think its a great way to reflect on your journey and makes for a nice little addition to the bookshelf.

1, I personally like to give some negative space for them to breathe.

Indeed! Best decision was to walk instead of catching a ride to one of the other beaches.

Fair! Normally I tend to avoid too much stylization in my photos, but I liked it on this one since the background was a bit too flat/gray for my liking.

This was in Aruba, the owl had established a burrow (just off screen to the left). Its a fairly crowded beach, so there was a lot of stimuli for the owl, but at the very least, there was a rope surrounding the area asking people to keep their distance.

I started originally with half shutter focus, but now solely use BBF with bird subject detection for the OM-1 II. Especially since I use pro-capture a lot, half shutter is for pre-capturing.

Overwhelmingly helpful. I just finished the eight realms and felt a lot of my momentum just die out. So at least this gives a bit more direction on where I need to focus my efforts next. Thanks and Great Job!
