    As usual, tough choice. All five have merit. Wong's, Woo's, and Smmokan's stand out to me...

    I love Woo's; it feels a bit soft. Knowing him though, it's a frame from an epic time lapse... And I love the tones in Wong's and Smmokans.

    Subject matter and composition, I gotta go with Woo's...

    It's definitely soft in a lot of spots. But as usual, that's one setup for 5 feet of camera movement, about 6 stops of light change and running a fast lens at full open on a full frame camera.

    1 day vote !!
    I like the cut of your jib !!

    I like Wongs. With Smokeman a close second. All were great.
    What if "Alternative" energy wasn't so alternative ?

    I agree 100% about the softness and thought long and hard about including it because of that. On the flip side, I thought it did a great job on conveying the theme and in past discussions here, it seems like adherence to the theme can trump a technically superior photograph. That's why it got in.

    I wish I would have had room for Phildo's, Fuzz's and hafilax's images too.

    That being said, VOTE!!!

    The depth in Smmokan's and the clarity of the actual sign win it for me...
    You should have been here yesterday!

    Voted for Steve's shot-interesting story on that plaque.
    Was hoping to get a hooker in the circus shot but they were all busy with safari club dudes at the ritzy hotels.
