You got WAY underscored. This is a wonderful picture!!! It's first place in my book because of the statement of the emotion it arouses. It sticks with you. Great job.

I thought this would be a top 10 as well. I'm guessing it wasn't "technically" appealing to some.....I found this to be an excellent picture. Provokes a lot of feelings from the pit of my stomach when I see it.

Great Bokeh. I really like the way the wire is used to add structure to the photo. Nice choice to use B&W.

The concept here is wonderful. The treatment is a bit too glary for me.

Good use of the cage to capture the essence of "zoo". Great use of DOF. The skin and fur don't seem to have full tonal range, but that could be my (crappy) monitor. 7.5, rounding up to 8.

I like this in that it speaks to me on how awful it would be to live in a cage.

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice
