#5. Like the how the depth of the subject's emotion stands out.

[Contender]

I have to go for #3 although several others were beautiful in other ways, or certainly most worthy in terms of exposure or composition.
Worthy recipients all!

What is going on in #11??

And interesting that the theme 'Celebration' elicits so many fireworks shots.

[MrStupid]

I really appreciate making pictures as opposed to taking them, so I'm going with #15

[D.F.Duran]

Man, 10 is the one. Hard because I liked 15 also.

[WesleyP]

#15 for me all the way simply getting the message across

[NancyK]

#5, the photo says it all!

[PlumCrazy]

Some really great shots but I have to go with #4 as it's a fabulous picture celebrating one of my favorite destinations on earth!

[micromacro]

I like #14 for unusual subject.

What is going on in #11??

And interesting that the theme 'Celebration' elicits so many fireworks shots.

#11 is my shot. It's the finale of the Oshkosh air show where they set off a massive explosion down the runway. Truly incredible in person.
