GroovyGouvy (Outline - perfect capture of theme + street shot)
FundyBrian (Outlines - that pop of orange is everything... I think it might be even better sans the comic style edit & Round Barn Rafters)
Now for the winner.... It came down to two images, and the choice was sooooooooo hard to make - I love them equally. They're both moody, fantastic shadows, great compositions, and they both speak to me. After staring at them both for awhile I chose:
deepop David's Alley I. Congrats David!! Just love everything about this image.

In a neck-and-neck close second (really I would have made this a tie except choosing themes and winners becomes convoluted):
rizole The Wavy Steps - the perfect use of light, shadows, mood, composition. Brilliant.
