This is officially my final five countdown towards my 10,000th comment. It suddenly acquired enormous portent for me, so I chose the final five from the thumbnails. This is number 9,999.

A real standout in a challenge filled with trees and buildings. Terrific diagonal composition, with a very strong story. The jeans and work shirt are a wonderful counterpoint to the bejeweled fingers. There is a strong journalistic feel here, which the b/w and grain help underscore. This image inspires an odd mix of emotions - sadness and hope.

You got an XPrize, for my highest rated images that came in the lowest in the final standings.

A fascinating, dark and heavy image. The high line, the hints of structures, or trees, all work to create an oppressive and vaguely threatening image. Nicely done indeed.

Oh this was right up there for me, I love it. The textures are wonderful. I guess I'm in texture heaven at the moment with all the side challenge textures I've been playing with. Oh and I meant to say thanks for adding me as a fave the other day. I appreciate it.

I gave you a 9 by the way! I think Bvy's comment entirely reflects my own.

A nine for this. I care not to explain. Let's just say it appeals to my inner horizon. There.
