I thought it was a cool idea, but I definitely lowered my vote by a significant margin because I didn't like the vignetting combined with the border.

Nah, I simply didn't want to go downstairs again and reshoot. I took one capture and ran with it. Personally I think there should be more focus on the ass also. The only reason I entered was the lack of entries.

I'm really at a loss as to why this finished so far down.
If you look at my comments, I had the blue and red ribbon pegged right behind this, but can understand how they finished ahead. Some of the other entries on the other hand, I really have no clue.

I thought it was Allen because it was in Italy and he was recently there. Anyways, it's still a good job.

Obviously this is bassbone. Similar style to your FS entry. I'm slightly biased towards good photos with runners in them, being one myself. I wish I could go back to these days of yore where running was my only stress.

Gave this a higher vote simply because it was different. It's a little underexposed, but you managed to take a photo of something random and find a Beatle's lyric to fit the image. It could have been the other way around, but somehow I doubt it. It's irrelevant in the end, I just liked the fact it was vastly different then the rest of the entries.

Another AllenP entry. Really like this one as well. The juxtaposition of young and old works nicely. The lyric chosen wasn't overly cliched like the majority of the entries.

I was half expecting someone to do this with a shot from Marineland. I personally don't think the photo is stellar, but the idea is what's elevating big time. I chuckle quietly every time I scan through the thumb when I see this one, so it earned a better mark than the rest.

Just love this photo. The face and the reflection are a great juxtaposition against the buildings. I don't know why there'd be a huge face painted there, and that's part of the story.

Personally, I don't like the quality of this image. It's a little grainy and slightly OOF. The person who's back is to us takes up too much space and isn't really part of the photo. All those negatives aside, it's original compared to the rest of the entries so I gave it huge bonus props.
