You can't blame some people for thinking this. Presumably they thought the photograph was about the building, while you knew that it was about the meaning of the building. You won, of course.

I voted in this challenge but forgot to comment later. This was my top pick.
The memorial rising above a great gulf of darkness was a perfect tribute to our ANZACs and I looked at it for a very long time. Thoughts turned to the most beautiful tribute to the original ANZACs, by Mustafa Kemal:

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives...
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.
Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies and Mehmets to us
where they lie side by side here in this country of ours.
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears;
Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace.
After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
- Kemal Atatürk

Thank you Enzo, for a beautiful and moving photograph.

Interesting use of negative space - I would've probably cropped it as much as I could to take the stairs out, but I'm surprised to see that this composition actually is pretty good - probably because of the gentle curve at the top naturally pointing to the monument - which looks awesome in that light. My top 10.

I like this a lot. The blurred diagonal line pulls us right back to him.
