This kind of image sticks around in the mind far longer than landscapes & such.
Stunning lighting on this. A Blue Ribbon image in my opinion.

Stunning example of composition and theme. The b&w conversion was right one the money for this one. One I surely would have been proud to call my own.

A Classic Love

I honestly don't believe this one ended up under 10th place.
There is a magical feel about this, a softness well shown and a 3D appearance that really works for this. Almost reminds me of an old postcard or similar. If this had been mine, it would have been my Best of 2008 for sure.

Superb focal point here.
The overall subdued tones add a very strong impact and contribute to the mood in a huge way.
Well done!

Man with cigar

I really like the overall tones and lighting on this.
One thing that has bugged me since I first saw it, was the angle and position of the cigar. It is following the same diagonal as his nose and in ways, at first glance, looks like it is coming out of his nose or out of the underside of his upper lip. Had the cigar been positioned differently, I suspect this shot would have had far more appeal.

Very pleasant color palette and something that could adorn the walls at any paint store or office supply.
