#2 and #4, for the simple reason that nothing is simple.

Ten Things I Think I Think (Peter King gets credit for the title.)

I think I liked last year's winner because I had seen nothing like it, ever.

I'm a big fan of golfing families, not so much of photos of them winning awards (BDB.)

I've seen RCD a lot from that vantage point. (BDB)

I really love the Chinese caddies.

I am stunned by the lighting of Anders Rytter's photo. If it doesn't win, there is no justice.

Gib is the most gifted writer in this discussion group. He would own that contest.

Neil Crafter gets width...really gets it!

How do we know that the couple in Dan Kelly's image is golfing?

The Yost photo is no less qualified for the second category than any of the others.

Sepia never gets old.

Pics 2 (RCD) and 1 (4 generations of The Blumes).

RCD is less than a generation older than the eldest Blume pictured.
