Out of all of those incredible images, the Photograph of the Year goes to a picture of a little girl (who looks like she just got done picking her nose) sitting next to a doll bearing her likeness in a field of flowers.  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Compared to almost all the other winners it's like so what? just dosn't work on any level.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I guess that they saw something arresting, different and unusual. I have had the advantage of seeing this as a big print and it is both creepy and arresting. I think that the reactions here just go to show that if you get twenty photographers to choose their favourite picture you'd get twenty-two different answers.  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you are so vain you rely on photo contests and their results to define your work you are doomed. Contests mean nothing. The only redeeming value of contests are that they are somewhat like accidents...we look at them...then go on with our business.  This post is:  Informative (3) | Funny (0) | Huh?
