Looks like everyone broke out the creative kool-aid this month - this page is amazing so far.

Back to using my X10, my entry this month - Panic Attack.

Top vote (3p) + reason: HelenaN - Not quite completely abstract, the subject is identifiable, but has no scale. This seems to appeal to me.
Runner-up vote (2p): Briantho - I really like the painterly quality of the processing, it suits the image.
Last vote (1p): Philip Reeve - Great light and use of natural framing of the subject.
