The caliber of the pictures,(and the subjects), kept getting worse and worse over time. Heros don't wear capes, they wear dog-tags!

I would have easily voted it as #1, but all the pics are really nice. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

configsys Member 165 posts Joined Jul 2009 Location: SL,UT More info | Dec 22, 2011 16:27 | #10 There are some nice shots but without the captions on many of them I don't think they are all that great. I used to believe Nat Geo had the best photographs. Perhaps POTN pics/members have spoiled me. SX40 HS, XSi (gripped), 7D (gripped), EF-S 18-55mm, EF 28-135mm, EF 28-70mm 2.8L, EF 70-200mm F4L IS, EF 50mm 1.8, EF 1.4x Extender II, 430EX-II

ToddLambert I don't like titles  More info | Dec 22, 2011 16:41 | #11 El Duderino wrote in post #13584345 The first one under "Places", the rainbow shot in the Philippines, the horizon isn't even straight. Wow.. I can't believe that. I mean the winning shot has such a glaring technical issue (that would be so easily fixed, too)... that's just gross oversight and incompetence on the part of the judges.
