The one I submitted in the "Stock Photography" challenge. It turned out almost exactly as I pictured it in my minds eye. Love it when that happens!

Nicely composed and executed shot. Proper use of DOF and crystal clear focus on subject. 10

I was going back through my votes, and I was compelled to come back to this one. I really love the simplicity of the framing, with the rough wood as the base and the white school-ish building as the background. This is really elegant.

My wife thinks this is the best photo of the challenge! I like it because of the lighting. You've got the bell exposed wonderfully, and the background lighting is awesome! The contrast between shadow and light is amazing!
