We have all seen thousands of sunset photos, but your photo taken here in backlight is special. You manage to make the mailbox in the shadow appear clear on the backlight recording - well done! You have given us a photo with a mood so we almost feel like travelling there.

Your image perfectly tells the story of mailboxes disappearing. You have created a masterpiece by showing not just the mailbox but the wall with the ring, it is well seen. An image like this could very well be used as posters on the wall.

I like your picture and I had it in my top ten, but I must admit that it had been a very difficult task just to select the top ten. I love the colourful image you have captured, it reminds me of pictures painted by Monet, this is a good example between a picture and photografi art.

Your image tells everything that was the purpose of this competition, mailboxes will probably disappear over time so let's take photos of them now. I'm thinking of the future when your daughter shows this photo to her kids, she will get the question, mom what are you doing in the picture?

For the competition, 20 pictures of very special very imaginative mailboxes have been submitted, your picture is one of them. Thank you for your contribution which makes us all smile. Unfortunately this photo is a bit blurry, you have used a long shutter time which need tripod. Good luck in the futura.

Your image shows the difference by just clicking and taking a picture or creating photography art. The strong yellow color and the fact that you have taken the picture, I believe in the afternoon, with the shadows make the image special. We can all learn from this.

I like you image, it fun it is a good composition, and I like the mood with only the green and yellow colour. I doubt a little if this is really the mailbox ? or the mailbox is on the left side of the door? I had your picture in the top ten in the first run and took it away and I am still not sure - but I like it, good since of humor, which make me smile, thanks

I like your close up photo, it is well seen with the only two colors brown / yellow. Your photo also shows that mailboxes are not used that much anymore. your photo is definitely one of the better close up photos out of many. Well captured.

There are quite a few photos in the competition that look like your photo, but yours stands out with the warm colors and the dramatic clouds in the background. That you have chosen to show a larger part of the landscape and not just mailboxes makes your picture better.

Your solution of the task clearly show the difference in just to take a picture and then create photografi art. Your solution of taking the photo with the powerful shadow makes it a perfect image. I rate yours for 3rd place, but it could as well have been 2nd. place.

In this contest, there were many close up photos of mailboxes, but yours stands out significantly. I like the angle you have taken the photo and the dark side gives a good mood. If you have editing software I would recommend removing the two white spots in the background, but thats a miner thing.

This mailbox in Greenland is maybe the best known mailbox world wide. Children all over the world are sending there Christams wishes to Santa to this mailbox. Nice to see you picture of the mailbox. To make the picture in the top ten I need a litle composition or action in the image, I would have loved to see some children in the picture. But a nice picture.

This is a great image and it could very well had been in the top ten - I must admit the it has been tough to select the top ten photos. I would recommend you to crop the photo, take away the left part black and take awy the right part white and keep only the red wall with the hook and the mailbox, for me that would have been a photo in the top 10. All the best.

This is a excelent image, very well captured. I must admit that it has been very tought just to select ten photos for my top ten, your photo could very well had been one in the top ten. I like the angle you have used and the red/blue colours. Maybe the crowd judge you in to 10.
