I liked 1, 8, 9, and 15. Maybe I just like bears? Number 9 reminds us of why polar bears are so dangerous. Number 5 strikes me as a cliché. Can't help it. I can see why a person with a fine arts degree would like #16, but it's a bit too abstract to me.

8 and 14

Been to #11.

Always really enjoy this contest, as it focuses on a perfect shot.

3 or 11. I must like water.
14 makes me dizzy just to look.

As travel photos go, #2 is Number 1.

#10 has been taken a million times.

#3 is for people who don't mind the mistreatment of the elephant. There is a backstory on the elephant in the water in the Andamans shot. Most of us won't do it any more.

6, 8 and 16 are excellent and I love 8 and 15.

The underwater shots are pretty mediocre as underwater shots go.

there are a zillion commercial versions of 5.

there is a sunset in SF every day and a fog bank every other day.

I love the shot. I'm from near there, but it is not unique...

I spent more time looking at the Saudi-Yemeni war. Just a preview of our future in Obamaworld.

The Milky Way above Yosemite - 15. Just makes you feel puny.

I thought these pictures would take me away from the world of politics and politicians. But no, there was #4.

Not for long. Those fuckers are doomed. DOOMED!

#15. Hands down.

Cynicus said...

3, 5, and 15. As to the elephant issue, men died building the Panama Canal. That doesn't detract from the amazing feat of engineering.

Cynicus said...

Also 7 and 14

Big Mike said...

@Curious George, if you got out in Alaska during white-out conditions, it won't be the polar bear that's doomed.

My favorites are 6, 7, 10, and 16.

They suck. 15 is obviously the best.

Which reminds of a a NGS photo- I think is was NGS- from a previous year, which showed a crouching lion near a giraffe. Marvelous photo. I have long wondered if the giraffe survived the encounter.
