If this isn't in the top 3 I'll eat my camera strap.

This should make the front page.

Your photo really works. I like the subject so clearly defined and the background doing exactly what it is suppose to do.

This photo sucks. Leaves no room for criticism. Next time please use muddy colours, don't try to to be soooo focused and pick something less interesting. God. Now I got to give out a 10. Sorry you left me no choice.
