Oh man, after just losing the Champions League Final, I cannot give you less than 6. Plus one for Thierry Henry. That's 7.

I'd never seen this before today. I guess you know what I think of it already ... Een avondje NAC!

Want Some Whine?

Grotesque. I'm afraid this is even worse than the atrocities committed by Anne Geddes; at least those babies she exploits can hope to grow up, track Geddes down and strangle her. These puppies won't even have that option.

Maybe he painted the mural for just this moment, Wiel. This is a brilliantly conceived photograph. Your artistic instincts are breathtaking; the Johan Cruijff of DPC.

Good as ever. Silly Hollander; you'll never get a ribbon if you keep doing stuff as thoughful as this.

Capilla Particular (Private Chapel)

You've done it again! Unfortunately, so have the voters.
A sublime architectural detail photograph that directly addresses the spiritual essence of the building.
And what does it get? Buried under twee stuff that's barely fit to put on a biscuit tin, and comments from people who apparently seriously thought you hadn't noticed the "blown out" highlights.
Good grief! Happily, you appear to have a sense of humor.

C'mon, you can't post this with no explanation. This guy's whacky even for CA. It's not a bizarre hang glider (that thing would not fly), so what is it? And is he carrying a surfboard as well as this magnificent plumage? If so, I'd love to see what happens when he's in the water ... do you have another shot of that?

Sally ... I am disappointed that this interesting and instructive photograph didn't do better. Judging by the comments, it seems that the problem was that it was an unlikely subject for a movie. I agree with that, but this image is a better photograph than at least 150 of the shots that finished ahead of it, and you should have got credit for that. If memory serves, the date this was taken was actually the opening day of the 2006 NZ duck season? Had I known that, my 8 would have been a 9. And no popcorn required.

I see a puppy, a hand, a fish climbing up the puppy's head; another fish moving up towards the puppy's right eye and one big fish with it's mouth wide open on the right :)

I couldn't think of a good title.

Check, check, check, check and check. I looked for more (there's sure to be lots more there), but these damned fish kept getting in the way and spoiling my view of all the other hidden stuff. Interesting objet trouvé.

As for the title: Discarded Piscatorial Cardigan.
Obvious, really ... I can't believe you missed it!
