Welcome to the March Madness Photo Showdown, an elimination style tournament that pairs sixty four of my top nature and landscape photos in head to head competition, with viewers deciding which advance through the rounds. You can read complete contest details HERE, and participate through social media or by emailing me your choices between each of the pairings below. (Numbers refer to photo seeding for the contest. It's pretty arbitrary, really, just for fun. The lower numbers indicate photos that have traditionally been more popular, however there are several never before shared images in the mix. Click on the photos to view larger, or read the descriptions.)
