Your statement: "but I can honestly say it's the best photo I've taken in 2006, if not EVER." is so right on the money.

I was very disappointed to see where this placed overall, but it's kind of ironic isn't it, that the more one of our own photographs moves us, the further down the scale they rank. I think it says something about what moves us deep inside for whatever reason, quite often in a different wavelength than the average crowd.
It's a far better thing to march to one's own beat than to fall into the hum-drum kettle in life.

Glad to see this place in the top 100, but still think it was deserving of a much higher finish.
This truly is an incredible shot.

Yes Jeff, this is truly one of the best black & whites around, and kudos to your top 5 finish.

I was so hoping to see this in the top 10.
This really is about as good of a child portrait as it gets.

Perhaps one of the most under-rated images in this challenge.
I can't say enough about the genuine feeling that emits from this.

I was going to ask why this wasn't in the best of 2006 Challenge, then saw the date.

I was so surprised that I didn't see this in the best of 2006 Challenge.
Had I taken this photograph, it would have been one of my first choices for an entry.
