Wanted to recognize this image for its sheer beauty and extraordinary detail of a hard working man's hands. Those hands look like they have lived a lifetime working outdoors making this better for his family and his neighbors. The simplicity makes this image stand out. Thank you for participating in my contest.

The contrast of the scorching hot fire with the firemen's silhouettes makes this a picture that stands out from the crowd. The viewer catches a glimpse of what is an ordinary day in the life of a fireman. Love the story of how the image was created and want to extend a special thanks and appreciation for making our world a safer place. Congratulations on your winning photograph.

Great use of the complimentary colors of blue and yellow which makes this image come alive. The composition with the boat in the foreground and the blue skies in the back creates a great image. Thank you for your participation in this contest.

I love everything about this photograph from the on the composition of the laborer coming up from the underground to the skyscrapers in the background. The milky smoke adds allure as the vibrant colors add to the gritty city life of the big apple. Great image and thanks for participating in my contest.

Whoa! Talk about being at the right place and the right time. This photograph is amazing how the image captures the exact moment in time as the calf is running full speed ahead. Great story to go along with the image too. Thanks for participating in my contest and congratulations on a winning photograph.

Stunning photograph! Amazing how this image captures the hardship of the laborers in the hot desert sun. The use of black and white provides a stark reality to this image. Beautiful detail and composition. Thank you so much for your participation in my contest.

What stories could be told by this labor whose hands are worn with years of hard work. Simple image but telling of the challenges many face. The composition is striking with the colors and textures adding to the beautiful image. Thanks for your participation in my contest.

A farmer's life is not an easy path as the work requires long days during the spring to plant and even longer days to harvest. I like this image because of the sharp details of the tractor and the contrasting colors. Thank you for your participation in my contest.

A sherpa is the life line to those who hike these trails and it is back breaking work. I liked this image a lot but wished it would have been cropped more to have less of the trees in the background and more of the actual porter. It is a beautiful representation of the hard work being performed by those who serve others. Thank you for participating in my contest.
