Meets challenge AND great play of patterns, and good use of light and colour.

Damn. If I had a photo like this I'd enter it everywhere, it's that good as well as all-purpose.

Probably the most interesting caterpillar face. Glad he made it to the top ten. Will check him out at the bugsite. (Any developments?)

Love the muted colours combined with the Xmas lights, a rare time of day into night.

Captured From Another Time

Really works for me. Been by this photo several times and I wonder why it should be so striking, maybe it is more than just the essence of the 40's, or maybe the essence of the 40's was significant, the generation of woman who took on tough war time jobs and responsibilities, for whom there was no looking back... Maybe she should replace FDR on the American dime (whose profile was modeled by a female sculptor), and FDR replaced the Statue of Liberty, all a grand tradition. (That's my ten cents).
