This is a collection of many significant pictures and isn't easy to rank them, but I'm will try:
1st. 19 puppy love. You can see the loyalty and love in the dog’s eyes and the connection between the little girl and the dog.
2nd. 2 one small step. It's a moment of deep emotion and proud for every parent to see their child make their first step or the first time they stand on their feet.
3rd. 13. Copycat. Children are the most grateful subjects for photography.
4th. 10. War's left over. This picture doesn't need any explanation.
5th. 6. Day out.
6th. 4. Coming home
7th. 3. Cao Daism
8th. 7. Fishing.

Cao Daism - I think this is great! It looks like they are resting between rounds of IK+ or something 😉 I like the top down look of the picture.
Hong Kong Mafia - Is that thing loaded?
Wars leftovers - whilst I agree the subjects and the flag make this a very powerful photo, and a deserved winner, I think the background needed a bit more contrast - take the guy doubled over on the left for example - his shirt meets the wall as one which looks a bit strange to me.

If there was something he didn't want to see, covering only one eye wouldn't help much, would it?
You mentioned the clinched fist. One could also ask of the other man staring straight at the camera: What is it that he doesn't want to see in covering half his face?
I'll need some more time to decide on my vote. I'll also comment more later. But I am very pleased how this round is going so far. I think we have never had so many votes by non-participants before! And it's nice to read the comments, it makes the voting much more interesting. Keep the votes and discussion coming!

Originally posted by magnublmThanks for your vote. 🙂 Just to remind people, you aren't really supposed to say which picture is yours before the voting is over. Of course in some cases it's easy to guess anyway, but I'd like to keep it as anonymously as possible. That makes it easier to be objective when voting, and it can also be fun to try to guess who took which picture.
1st - 10 pts - War's Leftovers--LOVE IT. The clear winner, IMO.
2nd - 8 pts - Cao Daism
3rd - 6 pts - Day Out
4th - 5 pts - Puppy Love
I'm glad some of you liked my shot, Coming Home. What a long day that was.
