Where was this hiding? Great shot for the challenge, but strange that I never saw it before. Love the intense color and rich contrast. As you suspected, a little more DOF might have made the difference between 9th and another patch o' color by your name. It's hard to feel sorry for a 6.5 though- congrats!

Another alien birth? ;-)

That's a very good cicada photo. It's a shame you didn't have this one for the Macro V challenge.

Remains of the Day

This is STRONGLY reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish's Daybreak. With a little more levels and hue/saturation work, I'm betting it could have placed much higher. Good job!

Looks like you picked a great day for a bike ride! The cloud shadow makes a nicely-placed compositional element. If I may suggest for next time, crop or shift a little to the right to lose that tree and get down low to put the grass in the foreground at about f/22. That should yield a great, three-dimensional sense of depth.

Great colors and motion. I really like the glowing tanzanite blues against the yellow. If you don't already, you should have a series of these framed and matted on your walls.

Now THAT'S a happy baby! Looks like you dipped his pacifier in Belgian chocolate or something.

Congrats on the well-deserved blue. I was starting to think you should change your name to nico_red, but now your ribbon collection is complete!
