Probably not eligible since it wasn't made with a canon DSLR (it was a canon camera though), but this is a picture I took years ago before I had a SLR:

Ok... It was an honor judging this week. Loved the creativity.
Here it is:

1st Place - Monty28428 - Great color and composition. Beautiful sky and sculpture. It really stands out as a unique photo.

2nd Place - Dilorenzo1954 - Awesome shot of the knight! A very close 2nd.

3rd Place - MSJGD - Had to stare at this cute one a lot. Love the light coming through his ears. Also my daughter's favorite.

Honorable Mention to:
airfrogusmc - powerful image - cropping of ear and elbow weaken the otherwise nice shot. Love the lines created by the stalls.

thatkatmat - beautiful zebra shot - I have just seen a lot of head shots similar to that.

Congrats!
Joby

Sorry for the late reply... I was out out of town all weekend. Great shots everyone... This was a difficult week to judge for sure. I am happy to return to the other side. Thanks to all for coming up with great shots on such a specific theme.
