I'm only about 15% of the way through all the images in this huge challenge, but I had to stop to say that this one took my breath away. It is absolutely stunning.

[Back to say that this is one of my 2 10's. There were so many great images in this contest that I should have given more 10's, but this and my other favorite are so far above the pack, IMO, that I could share the high scores with any others!]

What an exciting image! I love the hippo, who looks like he's waiting to cross the street. Beautiful tones; one of my favorites.

Just came back after finishing my voting - I can say with confidence that this is by far my favorite. Really wonderful. Good luck & thanks for sharing!

One of the best, IMO. The boy's face is beautiful, and the feeling the B&W gives is very serene.

My favorite! This is a great image; I love how he's isolated not only by the DOF, but also being (I think) the only man, and looking the other way. The choice of B&W feels perfect to me.
