The top ten, as selected by Doctorit and rsinmadrid:

    some really great finalists from a great group of entries. I can't imagine having to select the 10 finalists. It was tough enough deciding who to vote for.

    Man, these are all great shots. I wouldn't want to be judging these!

    An especially nice collection of photos. I found myself drawn to the shots featuring sunsets, curiously enough.

    My vote is cast. Congratulations to all finalists and all contributors. "Silhouette" turned out to be a great concept. clap.gif
