No way ! That couldn't be the winner.
I would delete that photo right away, if it was in my camera.
I'm still shocked about their decision.
Anyway, I'm not an expert, but...

I wonder how the kids feel about it

Maybe thats why this image won. I think any competent photographer would have tossed this image. Seeings as how photographers try to pick their best for Nat Geo, this stood out among the thousands of personal bests' of many photographers. The judges were so wrapped up in the contest and judging such great images, this image stood out the most. With eyes closed, it was the one image they remembered the most, and translated into $25,000!

hahaha, yeah right, but thats the best explanation I can figure out.

Hmmmmm...."Daddy's gonna buy us a trip to Disneyworld! "....is what I think they're feeling!

Ah well....this proves art really is subjective.
Personally I liked entry of the guy without legs best....thought that shot moved me the most.
