Very early morning, slowly, slowly cruising through a Norwegian fjord.

My effort - a Lady completely surrounded by the Bank Holiday bustle but carries on regardless.

Just over an hour to go, everyone! It's going to be really hard for me to pick the winners of this one - several brilliant images to choose from.

Re: DP Now Salon Competition no. 70 - CALMING

Okay, results time. Thanks everyone, for submitting superb images.

Here are the ones I have chosen as the top three to illustrate the theme 'Calming':

Third place - Horacio, with the woman floating in the pool. Complete relaxation, and I can imagine her floating there feeling calm and unstressed.

Second place - Jojo, the Norwegian fjord. Cool, gentle tones and a lovely composition.

First place - Gina, with the sleeping baby. So peaceful and beautiful. A perfect composition, and the processing has added a lovely softness, which makes it very 'easy' to look at - no harsh lines or colours.

This was genuinely difficult to decide! At one point, I had four entries tying for third place, and it took me ages to pick one. In the end, though, I went with those images that made me feel calmest when I looked at them.

Thanks again everyone, and it's over to Gina for the next Salon.
