OK its closed. I will have a winner posted in a while.

And the winner is

YOGESTEE..

I'm a sucker for a strong portrait and this is a strong one. Every mile this man has walked, story he has told, hardship he has lived through, is all on his face and hands and Jurgen has capture each and every line. WAY TO GO.

Flo Beer and a frog great shot and close to home

Kendoway Nice job of capturing the neon and the feel of the city.

athrasher nice night shot. The lights on the bottom are just a touch distracting.

John interesting composition. I really like the color and the parallel lines at the top plane and power line. Repeating shapes are everywhere and its a very interesting crop.

Dynamitetony very interesting with the line from the street almost the same color as the robe leading you eye to the robe. Arrow pointing your eye into the frame. The railing in the bottom left is a little distracting.

Jurgen THE WINNER

single track----nice capture. What looks like yellow leaves making the X on the bottom of the shoe is very cool on top of the capturing the moment.

Colonel another nice night shot.

JLatimer. This shot really capture the motion of the city and was almost my choice.

Ed always love your stuff. This the highlights look a bit blown not much separation between what he's holding and his shirt.

Daniel the headlights in the fog are interesting, though not enough to carry the image for me.

MSJGD Great shot and another one I pondered over.

Jason nice motion shot

BottomBracket GREAT SHOT. You guys didn't make this easy.

soulevlved Been YEARS since I've been to PI and Bagio. I always loved going to Bagio. Much cooler there than Cubi Point.

fryefoto nice S going through you image. Interesting colors also. The green from the sodium vapor lamp and the red from the tail lights make for an interesting pallet.

Geno I like this a but seems like everything is going on on the rt side of the frame. The buildings and cars on the left are bright and if there was some detial would be a nice balance. Still I like this shot a lot.

DennisW gotta love all the draw bridge in Chicago. They make for interesting subject matter. Love the pattern and the shadows.

amishclark this is an interesting design. Also the old and the new make for a nice tension. It also looks a bit flat to me. (contrast)

flipsk8r008 beautiful old building

bohank very interesting with the man in the back looking to his right as well as the lady in he front but the guy with the flower and the determined look marches on with his concentration unbroken.

Monty interesting image wish the guy turning his head would have turned it just a bit more in the direction of the young lady walking. Wilmington?

Its was tough this week because of the great job everyone did.

OK Jurgen whats next.

I hope I didn't miss anyone.

YAYA ! so many entrants!!!!!!!

congtratz Jurgen!!!!

Congrats Jurgen!!! Excellent choice Allen!
Thanks for the comments on all the images.
(I see what you mean about the blown highlights. That's what I get for processing it on my lap top:rolleyes

Thanks a bunch Allen,,I'm honoured..

I've had two cracks at this old guy,,once in 2005 and again in 2007.. This image was shot in a little street market in Luang Prabang in the northern highlands of Laos.. The submitted image was shot in 2007..

He's an elusive fellow.. You almost have to sneak up on him because as soon as he sees a camera he disappears into the shadows..

I'd love to know his life story.. He is wearing an old army jacket so I presume he's ex-army.. The side he fought on is inconclusive.. Possibly the Royal Lao Army or the Pathet Lao (Lao communists)..This area saw some of the heaviest fighting during the Lao Communist Revolution in the '60s and '70s.. I have a sneaking suspicion he's Hmong..

Here is a pic of the same old guy taken in 2005..

Allen,,once again,,thank you
