Good Luck!

Ok all, thank you for the entries. A good number of participants and happy to say all the images have good qualities in them.
So, here are my picks, in 3rd place I picked christopha200's image of the classic racing car:
Revival '12 1930s BW Autounion by christopha 200, on Flickr
Technically, the highlights a little too bright however I like the contrasty lighting and the image overall invokes an interesting story and leaves the viewer intrigued about the number 5 car and the driver/mechanic standing over it.
2nd place goes to Morbid for this cute little thing:
Beautiful soft lighting and depth of field and captured a strong pose. I can't decide if I like the close crop to engage the viewer with the cat's stare more than cutting off bits of the cat at the bottom. Help's that i have a thing for cats!
Ok now for the winner. Honestly I'm a cat man rather than dog, but this image is really cool. Lovely wide aperture image, caught a great strong pose, lovely composition and the black and white processing is perfect imo.
Congrats to Pete Baraka
