Also, please remember to include a link back to the original photo (the photo's page or large.jpg/original.jpg), as it's nearly impossible to judge a photo at medium size only.
Finally, a note about direct linking. Please follow these guidelines when posting your images in the forum:
http://www.pbase.com/help/direct_linking&id=465
Otherwise, when the servers are updated the links will break! I have excluded from consideration all photos which were posted incorrectly (many which would have made the cut), to avoid broken links.
With that out of the way...
Special mention to a few who dared to be creative:
