Do you honestly think it would be a better photo without the jeep in it? I highly disagree. Perhaps if there was something else at that focal spot to take its place like a person but the Jeep really fits this scene and it has a personality in a way because of the facelike grill and that the vehicle was very much a part of the offroad adventure. In a way I felt as if people would connect more with the Jeep than they would with a person. (although I do have a few person shots from this area that I mean to upload soon)

Very nice shot! Is that a wine glass toasting in the background? I can't quite make it out. Perhaps a bit dark overall but still a great photo :)

This was my favorite as well. It evoked a lot of chatter amongst the realms, both positive and negative, a sure sign that is is a powerful image! Just what one always hopes for. Congrats.

FWIW, I gave this an 8 - I obviously ignored the title. :-)

Great job. Wonderful subject. Nice job having the child separated from the background. The object over her head is slightly distracting.

It sure seems that way sometimes. I know what your thinking, this guy just doesn't have an eye for photographer. If this is the kind of stuff that is winning maybe I should put less thought into it.. Sorry if this seems harsh..

It's not just harsh but mean. Must be nice being up so high on your peddestly that you cant see reality down below.

It's not just an eye for photography but an eye for interpetation. People are creative in different ways and yes, they see things differently then you do.

This shot rocks.. the rule of thirds is right on, it tells a story, excellent lighting and you gotta love his expression. He even got a guy reading the papers in it with all the papers and magazines on the side showing. It is a great shot!
