Congrats everyone. 17images...wow...

I may be jumping the gun here, and this may also be unpopular, but I want to express my disappointment in the lack of commentary in both this challenge and the previous one from the judges. I'm probably wrong, but my expectation is that if you are awarded the responsibility, and if you volunteer for it, you should have the courtesy to comment on each photo in the challenge. This especially if you've won a challenge. As a winner, you have proven that your cream has risen to the top, and you may have valuable insight that can be shared. For those judges recently that have made the effort to comment fully....kudos! I know, and have stated in commentary, that I've gained perspective from some of those comments.

The judges have never been required to comment on all of the images, It is suggested that they comment on the ones that they chose. I understand your disappointment Froch, but you are possibly expecting more than some judges have time or willingness to do. It is greatly appreciated how much energy you yourself have put into commenting and contributing, unfortunately not everyone will have the same energy level as you.

I myself try very hard to take the time to comment on all of the images when I have judged and know first hand how long a task it is. It is not easy, nor is everyone able to express themselves easily. I think we should just appreciate the fact that as a community we are willing to share and help each other as much as time allows.

OMG! I didn't even know! I glanced over the votes thread and didn't see my image mentioned. LOL

My son was in a motorcycle accident last sunday (Aug. 1)... morning and broke his leg and a bone in his face.. road rash .. etc. Today he had surgery to put the rod into the leg bone that he broke. I just assumed I wasn't in the running again.

What a pleasant surprise! I needed some good news. thanks whoever picked my image
