Jimmy, I can't believe I didn't notice this one before. Those greens are simply intense! I need to try the gothic glow plug in. This is a gorgeous piece in and out of the contest.

Woo hoo, Sandy! I didn't get to this while voting, but you would have had one more 10 if I had. What an incredible image! The lines in her face are amazing, as is the smoke and how it frames her face.

In departure, I remain.

I REALLY love this. Am adding into faves right now. Just when you can't imagine a unique butterfly photo, one comes along. Bravo.

I love DPC unfriendly. This is great. The interaction between the goat and the man is excellent.

LOL - this is awesome, Peter! I know you said it's not your photo. What a pity. I think you would have gotten the blue in the rural challenge with this bad boy. :-)

The Champion, Number 2

Great action shot. I agree with Jayson that the contrast could be goosed a little (curves could do wonders here) but think it's still very well done.

Don, I've been really impressed with your work lately, and this is no exception. Does it really fit into the toy challenge? No, but who cares. It's a beautiful piece of work. It captures the emotive jealousy very well, and the relative size between the two boys as captured via your perspective adds tremendously. Adding to faves.

On the heads of unborn generations lies the greater burden.

Peter, I really like this. I was one of your higher scores. Would have been even higher with a little more negative space around the two background figures, but I also think it works very well as is. I've enjoyed your Frogner Park photos in general - what an inspiring place it is!
