The results are finally in! Pardon for the awful delay, but work has been keeping me very very busy (I've not even gotten a chance to shoot a roll of film for the past 4 weeks)
After having a hard time deciding which is which, I have decided that
the winning picture is:

I find the picture staggering, honestly. Sunset, on a river, paddling along... simply epic!
I envy you a lot for having the chance of taking that picture.
As promised, the runner-ups are as follows:
I couldn't decide which of them are 2nd and 3rd place, because I just love them both:

Lovely girl friend, expressive, and great pose. The image is also soft, which I quite like.

I'm a sucker for both macro and b/w shots, and you've included both in this picture. The noise adds a lot, IMO. It gives the image a very film-like quality.
Other notable achievements include, in no particular order:

Very captivating macro. Just wondering if the dew drops were moving or stationary.

Beautiful landscape. Something I could never see in my country. A circular polarising filter would have made this image a winner.

All I can say is that I wish I was there with my girlfriend. Quite romantic, this shot.

Lovely colours and subject, but the bokeh seems a bit... awkward to me. (camera's fault)

I enjoy architecture. The older the better. And Scotland is one of the best places to do this kind of photography.

Bird shot. With a Point&shoot. Not something you see everyday, I'll tell you that.

Not a big fan of 16:9, but this is almost studio-quality photography.
They look like white lilies. Are those things even real? I've never seen any like that in my life.

Daniel likes your XPS and MyBook quite a lot, I take it. Keep an eye on him, in a couple of years his work might be featured in a gallery or two.

Lovely lighting, but your Pentax would have fared much much better in this case.
That's about it. Thank you everybody for participating!
bbpa103, you are in charge of hosting and judging the next P&S contest, should you choose to do so.
