Some Wrist Scan sessions are easy to judge. Others, difficult. This week? . . .
. . . damn near impossible. More worthy wrist shots than I can shake a cue stick at.
There were outstanding wrist shots from a traditional standpoint.
mj23's PSM . . .
. . . K's Raketa . . .
. . . Geo's Cartier . . .
. . . Watchonthewrist's DR . . .
. . . and Bobbe's Cartier . . .
. . . are all candidates on technical, aesthetic, or compositional grounds.
Then there were submissions that hewed to Captain's theme. HSTE fared well here . . .
. . . but Abel just killed this approach with several aces.
Our Captain led the way with this portrait . . .
. . . which eerily mirrors a photo I took of Buzz seven years ago.

Then there was the personal style approach championed by jporos.
Yours truly was surprised learning of Bond's first watch.
Shemmir's submission was a bombshell. I would've bet Bond's first was a Sub - I'd no idea it was a Gruen.
There were sentimental favorites from Cookies . . .
. . . and terbaboom, both of which . . .
. . . had a shot at the top spot; terbaboom's thematic composition was especially compelling.
But who can argue with a parrot?
I loved this shot! Orange Seiko meets orange beaks from the most stylish member of the animal kingdom - way cool. Not to mention difficult to capture.
So first to orangedial for his parrot-approved wristshot, followed by shemmir's Gruen for second on heuristic merit and Watchonthewrist's DR for third on technical and aesthetic grounds.
Have a good Sunday, all, and holiday weekend to Americans who celebrate Labor Day tomorrow.
