WD on the Blue!
ETA: After reading Giles_uk's take I feel more at ease saying this. I also thought most of the shots were shoe horns. This is just masterfully shot and deserves the win.

Hermann. Crisp and sharp, nice colours. Love the muck on everything and the reflection in the sunnies. Face in shade is a bummer though, strips the power out of the shot.

Ha! Great take Stephen. Pity about the wind. Love the white takkies. Was she wearing black Nike's? Crisp and clean and fun.

ETA: PS: What lens is it then? Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 ? :) You should print a Jumbo and give him copy.

Hi Konrad. Take the skew buildings away and this would (again) be right up there. May I suggest trying another but get the building perspective straight and see how it would do? Advanced editing allows it I think. Or shoot more sky and less earth, to get the buildings in the middle of the frame where there's less distortion. I thought long and hard before getting my Tokina 12-24mm f/4 ATC PRO DX due it's distortion, but then I seldom photograph buildings with it. I prefer to use the 28mm DG Sigma (=42mm on DX) for that. Saves me PP :)

Yup there's the blue hand... :) Oddly I appreciated it enough for a 7. These images are growing on me, like a fungus :)
If you ever win a challenge with a pinhole shot how are you going to validate it? :) Email them a picture of the tin foil with needle hole? hehe.

Yes impressive, especially for the sensor size. I out commented myself this challenge. Sorry didn't get to this. I guess my 7 was comment enough :)

I know you can't DO anything about the POV if he's on a 10" pole :) It's just an observation and I have the same dilemma as you did when submitting. Show the pole or don't show it and take a beating from the "It's a bird park shot" if showing a portrait only. 7 from me :)
