As usual I will start with the honourable mentions first. I will only post one of the images for each honourable mention and then all the images for the top three.
Honourable mentions

The direct contact with the eyes tells the story of eating an oyster. I can certainly understand the reaction from the lady!

Great capture of the river trade in Asia. Choose your fare and hope it tastes nothing like it looks
Third place
nickviv
A series of well composed landscapes with great use of the available light. You can almost feel the warmth in the final shot after the coolness of the first.
Second place
unjay
A series of very powerful messages about the need of some people to travel for fresh water and the fact that the girl fetching the water is of a very young age.
First place

Having kids myself, these series of images perfectly capture the trials and tribulations that kids and their parents have to go through. You can see the curiosity in the child in the first shot and the shock and horror of falling in the third. What the camera doesn't show, but all parents who see this shot will know, is the horror of the parents at seeing their child fall. A great series of photographs, jlben you now have the dubious honour of hosting the next event. Have fun
But my finger couldn´t stop...
