Excellent job; kudos to Tony and Nilotpal. I hope we can depreciate straight interviews in favor of this sort of thing in the future. Juliancolton (talk) 18:29, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The winner is a fine image but I admit to some confusion as to just why it was so popular. The subject doesn't seem particularly compelling. Powers ^T 19:47, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no training in photography, but it looks superb technically at full res. I love the man's poise, his trajectory. The composition is beautiful: the water he's been swimming in is suffused with the gold of the temple, and the human activity on top of the gold temple and behind is an elegant counterpart to his figure.

I agree with Powers, the image simply doesn't carry any punch for me that the other ones do :/ ResMar 02:14, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The 2009 picture of the year embodies exactly what I meant earlier: The future is... peeking behind the past . Great picture. --The Nut (talk) 14:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC
