I really like the simple colors in this. The turquoise and the boy's blond curls haromize beautifully. Add the sharp shadow and the boy's purposeful stride and it is perfect.

Another nice Centered entry I didn't see. IMO this should have placed higher. Nice job.

This was one of my picks for a ribbon. I didn't get a chance to comment during the voting though.

I loved this shot. I didn't see it until after the voting. I didn't vote on all the Centered entries.

Very original skyline. Without the pole it would have been a very nice skyline. The pole gives it character.

Oh boy, I can see how this didn't score higher. I love it's simplicity. The texture and the quiet tones tell the story. Lovely. I would buy a print of this. I think my dad would love it.

As for meeting the challenge, this challenge seems almost like it could have been an free study. One can find far more unlikely things in a garage than an old hat.

Beautiful abstract. Great capture of a difficult subject. Intelligent use of tight cropping.

Very desolate, evocotive scene. I really like the monochromatic scheme. I'm afraid to look at the entries that beat this. :-D

I wasn't a member during this challenge so I didn't vote. I believe it was this challenge that decided me on becoming a member because I love where I live and would have loved to have entered this one.

I like the various contrasts in this shot. First there is a thematic contrast between man built structures and natural structures, then there is the visual contrast of the peak of the building being constructed and the peaks of the mountains in the background. From this viewpoint the building looks larger than the mountains. Is this an intentional statement, I wonder, or just a happy accident. I love the inclusion of the Roman numerals, particularly the usage of "X" as a title. Let 'em figure it out or not.
