This is a very worthy recipient of a ribbon. I'm usually not a fan of IR photography, but this really works. You're absolutely right, this does have 'magic'.

This is lovely. The water miniscuses puckering around the edges give it a soft contour. This might be good as B&W photo as well.

Greyhound Racing

This is a stunning shot. The angle of all the dogs is great on that corner. The one white dog in the center left - the way the muzzle is reflecting the light it looks like a mouth full of vicious teeth.

I like this shot a lot. It's got a great range of colors and good composition. Only one thing bothers me from a post-processing point of view - that little splotch of cloud directly above the mountain/cliff in the background is kind of distracting and something I would've cloned out. The other clouds streaking across the sky really enhanced the image, however.

I agree this is a great photo and an interesting perspective on the bridge.

This remains one of my favorites from the challenge. There is so much energy radiating from, the, er, Angler.

Four of a Kind

This remains one of my favorite animal photos on the site. Excellent clarity and composition. I love how you got the attention of all four - the expressions are pricelessly blank and focused. :)

This is a clever shot and I enjoyed it a lot.

Although I agree with the others - it's got a kind of creepy edge. Look what just a slight amount of editing does:

Could be a horror movie poster!

The selective desat left the sax a little green. If you can tweak that this image will be even better. What emotion on the guy's face!
