sangosimo - Very emotional shot, great capture. The title is fitting and nicely placed. Did you crop the one on the left that way, or is that all you had to work with? I am not 100% sure what you were going for with the theme, maybe that the photo on the right is a white guy? I kinda had in mind that the "juxtaposition" would be in the same photo. Sorry, I should have been more specific!
JDDavis - Cute... I hope the little one didn't get in too much trouble! Technically, it is a good photo but it feels quite a bit like a snapshot (and I am guessing it probably was), maybe because everything is centered? And the box of raisins keeps distracting me... was the child putting them in the water?
deep diver - Great concept, but something feels "off" to me. Was this flag painted on the wall? If so, whoever painted it did an amazing job... but my guess is that you photoshopped the flag in? Or it is a very translucent flag? Anyway, high marks for a great concept.
maddagascar - Ah-ha, photographic evidence that someone is breaking "the law"! (or at least, the sign). I would have liked to see more of the person's arm in the shot, and maybe the sign not directly in the middle of the photo.
LittleCanonKid - Solid interpretation of the theme. It would have been even better if the deer was even closer to the houses. But not much you can do about that, is there? Also, I think the background haze is a little distracting - I wonder if you could increase the contrast just a touch?
Designer Dale - Interesting shot, although I am not sure what I am looking at here. Is it a bell? The top piece has some cool patterns on it for sure, and I like the way that is contrasted with the bricks. Before I read your title, I thought that is what you were going for on the theme... but honestly, now I am confused on the juxtaposition you were going for. Isn't the moon suppose to be up there in the sky?
NathanCH - Very nice, I like it. Definitely on theme. If I had to nitpick, I think it would be better without the people walking in front of it.
flutegirl822 - Great sunrise/set photo, and I like the framing. My only critique is that the little trees in the lower left interrupt the flow of the electric lines toward the horizon.
Chappers - Intriguing photo, it makes me want to know more about what is going on here. The gentleman definitely looks uncomfortable holding the baby, and the baby is obviously not having a good time! The contrast between young/old and content/discontent is good. I think that it could be improved with a much tighter crop and maybe not having them centered in the frame.
acearchie - Nice silhouette photo! I see where you are going with nature vs man, but it doesn't seem very unnatural to me that a photographer is taking pictures of nature. Also, I think the cropping would look better with more of the lake in and more of the scene that she is looking at.
panoz7 - Cool, I like the idea here and the lines on the rocks are very interesting. Is this a macro or "semi-macro" shot? I assume that the house you carry around is on the small side?
It is definitely on theme. I can't help but wonder what it would look like if the house was black or white or something that wouldn't blend in so much with the colors of the sand and rock.
Wow, this was a hard one to judge! Good job everyone.
Drumroll, please... and considering the olympics, I decided to award some medals ;-)

Thanks again and I look forward to the next one. Take it away, NathanCH...
