I miss it. Bring back the thumb keyboards with tactile controls.

Seriously, nice capture here. I'm surprised it placed this low. It was one of my favorites in the challenge.

This is one eerily cinematic presentation.

And I thought this room looked nice from the balcony... :-)

Sometimes when our family goes roller skating, I'll see someone much too young to have ever known the joys of B-side cassettes wearing one of these things and jamming out to whatever alternative to Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber is playing in their non-Bluetooth headphones. This picture definitely captures the spirit of why.

Wow--nothing below a 6! That's quite the achievement. But no wonder: This is such a lovely portrait. The kind I would fully expect to show up in a family slideshow sometime. Congrats!

A challenge favorite for me. The color balance and composition of this scene are so lovely. I can hear the "hush" and feel lost in my thoughts.

I love the long shadows and luminous contrast in this one.

I had the unbelievable good fortune to photograph a pair of eagles like this on a lakeshore near here once, but nothing I captured had anything close to this level of resolution, so they sit on my hard drive as grainy "evidence" but nothing I'd share here.

I really enjoyed this one. The composition is very attractive. I understand your reservations in the processing, but I'm betting you'll be posting plenty of front-pagers soon enough.

The textures on these is so fascinating. I think you nailed the kind of composition it takes to bring that out.

Aerial photography at its finest for me. A very hope-inducing composition.
