i voted, but all of those have wayyyy too much photoshop work done to them, so none of them should even get a vote. photoshop, when used sparingly is great, but when you do as much as those photographers did, it just looks stupid. the eagle picture is pretty sweet though, and i think the skydivers with the shuttle in the background is awesome as well

Yeh, I agree it has been over-processed... but it's still a cool photo and deserves our support. It's falling behind and needs our help, everybody please vote for it! You can vote once per day.

I would actually say none of them look overprocessed to me......

Sorry, do we know the kid who shot it or what?
