I like the blue lake photo.

Some of those photos were terrible! I am surprised they won anything for Nat Geo.
The guy with the gun isn't even in focus and the kid is blurring the foreground. The zombie photo is nothing more then a snapshot ~ and not a good one.

I thought the images were pretty good. The people ones did tell good 'stories'. The photos don't always have to be technically perfect, so long as the story the image is telling is interesting.

In that people photo with the guy with the shotgun, I love the intensity on his face. It makes me wonder what he was seeing in the distance and what he was aiming for.

I enjoyed looking at those photos so thanks for sharing, Greg
