It's all about the clouds and the magic city of gold in the distance.

Hard to pick, but I'll vote for the antique quality of #5

Not a lot of work from me in this one Bob, the two guys rocked-up at the right spot and adopted the right pose . . .
The hob-nailed boots are perfect, the pipe is perfect, the poses are perfect, the scratchings are perfect, but what caught my attention right away was the rakish angle of the pipe-smoker's cap!

Mmmmm . . . I guess creativity is high in your family; your wife with her voice and you with your camera. Beautiful photograph.

#1 was manipulated somewhat........HDR to start then in Photoshop I darkened the edges to force the viewer to focus on the Christmas tree. Do you think I cheated a little?!?!?!?
I think only a photojournalist would think in terms of "cheating." The rest of us who are creative photographers just see your end result as exceptional and admire all the steps you went through to get your final product. Beautiful work!

The two "birds" seem eyeball to eyeball to me. Not too low at all. (What are DOD folks?)

I think the desaturated colors of #9 fit with this landscape, so that's my vote.

Thanks, Stephan. The color version is definitely colorful.
The color version is definitely colorful. Prefer the black and white which eliminates the "distraction" of all that color and focuses on your title of "Contrast."

"What is this man jabbering on about. For the life of me, I just can't figure what this is all about!" This is such a terrific "story" shot. Love it!

I liked the yellowish cast of the late afternoon sun, and in fact, enhanced it a bit, so I preferred the color version of #1 over #2. I like to include the environment around a subject, so kept more of the surroundings as in #1. I cropped a bit on the right, and cloned out the lower right and lower left distractions and removed the bits of straw from the elk's mouth. Color seemed the way to go here over b&w to capture the play of browns and tans throughout. I liked the shallow DOF.

Very much like the photograph as is, but in order to do something to it, opted for a crop and a presentation as a framed watercolor.
