Terry, this is really beautiful. Congrats on the top 10, too! I love the background color choice. It very much compliments the shell.

Jeffrey, I had no idea you were even going to enter this, LOL. I do recognize the shell from previous challenges, however. I like the composition here. Howdy neighbor indeed!

This is truly one of the most amazing photos I've seen on this site. I cannot believe how well done it is.

Cool - both peacocks make the top 10! I really like the tilt on the head on yours!

On Golden Pond

Neil, this is a beautiful photo that did quite well in a very, very tough competition. The water looks absolutely golden! I think the only issue may be the DOF - the OOF area in the back area of the water draws my eye away from the subject a bit in this case. By the way, I'm assuming you didn't mean to add "military" as one of your galleries in this.

Precious water. Thank you for not wasting it.

Oliver, you are really on a roll lately. You smashed your dream score out of the water I see, no pun intended. This is a very interesting shot. The tulip almost looks like it is in a mirror instead of a refracted drop. I don't think the refracted drop looks odd at all, though the tiny stem portion coming out of the faucet does give me pause. It's so minute that it doesn't detract, however.

Enzo, I absolutely love this. Obviously your prediction was way off, and I'm glad, because this is a stunner :-)

Richard, this is absolutely gorgeous - I can't believe this one wasn't on the front page. What a tough competition, with lots of amazing entries, but this one still stands out to me!

Authentic, genuine UFO photo. It's real. I'm not kidding.

I'm afraid it looks like an authentic photo of a shoehorn thrown into the air :-) Nice high toss, though!

Happy to see me? No, guess not.

Deb, this is a great photo, but it sure didn't fit the challenge. But you almost got that coveted brown! Which is kind of a pity, as it is actually an excellent photo. Should have entered it in macro w/out bugs or flowers. :-) Edit to add: maybe I'm just not perverted enough, but I didn't even see the little penises until I read your remarks. I think the title should have clued me in. Pretty funny.
