Wow there were a lot of excellent entries, thank you to all who entered.
Honorable mentions in no particular order:
3rd Place to Dima&Nelya - Hostile glance - Hope I'm never on the other end of that stare (or teeth!)
2nd Place to Dennis Camp - Struck Out - The disappointment is heartbreaking and made more dramatic by the boy taking up the full frame.
1st Place to Ian Birch - Eagle Owl - The B+W, the grain, the tight full face shot which barely can hold that intense stare, makes this my choice for #1 (and I'm a sucker for film). Congratulations Ian.
Automation's broke again... sigh. So posted manually.
