Wonderful textures and colours in the worn surface and I like it against the other texture of the wall/ground. The shadow is good too.

Nice silhouette, though I feel a shoehorn in it.

Nice textures. Could have saved this one for next week? I like it, though, nice abstract.

Havent voted yet but from a quick thunbnail preview of the entries this one stands out for me. Love the colors, textures and lines.And te shadow works for me too. I think this meets the challenge perfectly - whatever that means. I will be back later to give a proper vote. GL with this one.

Back again to start off my voting. I am not starting with the first one that came up in the queue but I am starting with this one. From the thumbnail view of the challenge I feel this meets it great. You get a starting 9 and a bonus to boot.

I like the simplicity of the tones and colors. Perhaps a slightly different angle or a different composition would be nice here. Good shot!

Excellent backlighting. I love the symbolism of this shot. I'm sure his family is anxiously awaiting his return.
