Public restrooms are a hobby of mine, and not even in that perverted way we get used to by some naturalistic documentaries on YouTube.

I was able to catch some "bridge jumpers" while driving around the big island of Hawaii.

Sorry guys/gals. Had a crazy weekend and am just now getting to this. Please don't take any offense to my comments. I'm kind of a jerk and am brutally honest. I don't feel the need to stroke anyones ego and let's be honest, it's just MY opinion.

AlexH: like it but it. Problems I see is it is very over exposed and honestly looks like every shot through the windshield of a car I have seen.

Sideonecincy: Absolutely LOVE it! Great capture and almost the antithesis of motion with such a crisp grab. Love it.

ipos: Like it but it's been done ad nauseum.

ndpuckhead: It's sweet but if you could have got the cars a bit more crisp it would have been better. I know it must be tough with cars that can go almost 300mph in a quarter mile.

triptolemus: I like the patterns of the movement I just wished I knew what the lights were? At first I saw it and thought it may be car running lights and then I saw the keyboard. I just didn't get it.

jodelli: Just like the car windshield but way better. I'm not a fan of complete symmetry but with this shot I think if you cropped it differently it would be money!

imac wannabe: All I can say is you hit the nail of the topic on the head. Solid work.

Nicolasdec: Really like it. Not sure if it was raining or if you sensor needs cleaning but there are definite spots that destracted from the overall picture.

fcortese: Really like the motion! I just wish the delivery person could have maybe been more sererated from the background blur. I know that would have been tough and I get the motion, but I think it could have been slightly better IMHO. Again, it must have been tough so solid shot.

I want all of you to know these were all SOLID shots. It really wasn't easy to decide even the top three let alone the winner.

3rd: jodelli
2nd: Sideonecincy
1st: imac wannabe

There are a lot of really great shots here. It is unfortunate that only 9 of the 20 were judged.

Congrats to the winners.
