I voted for dacat That picture is just fantastic!
 
It's a really tough choice. I'm going to go with hypnagogue, just because the subject matter is unique. I'd have never even thought of photographing a gasoline puddle, or considered it in any way artistic until I saw that photo.
 
nazzard, your picture would be just perfect if the focus was shifted a little bit to the left I think, for the strings. The autofocus focused to the exact middle. Otherwise, terrific picture! I voted for you! Apparently so did 6 other people.
 
I had to go with geomike...that is one helluva cool picture...but unfortunately they all were so it was so so hard to decide.
 
GeoMike gets my vote again.
 
I liked Kurdt's flower - and the insect on the left is terrific!
Also nazzard's guitar is fantastic, it reminded me the past...
however the vote goes to... KURDT!

well, other pictures are great as well! good job!
 
larkspur's over the other insect/flower one, for me.

Yey I have a fan. Think I lost Moonbear after I accused her of being Britishist, but all in good jest mind you.

What a tight group! The top three vote getters are within a spread of one point. As ZZ said, "brutal"!
