The 2011 photos of the year: Round 3
As the year comes to a close, we look back at the best photos from 2011 in a new contest: the photos of the year. All of the photo of the week winners from 2011 will compete against each other for the grand prize. As is the case with our weekly contests, the photo of the year will be sponsored by Posterjack, and the winners will be decided by by our readers. The following prizes are up for grabs:
- 1st place will receive a voucher code for a 24"x36" Metal Print ($200 Value)
- 2nd place will receive a voucher code for a 24"x36" Canvas Print ($150 Value)
- 3rd plave will receive a voucher code for a 24"x36" Frameless Mount ($100 value)
Each of the photo of the week winners from 2011 will compete in a four-round contest, the individual entries of which will feature 13 photos, one for each week of the year. The three photos with the most votes from each round will move on to the final round., which will be composed of 12 photos and ultimately decide the top three photos of the year.
Following the publication of each post, voting will be open until 11:59 p.m. on Thursday of the following week.
For those photographers whose images are featured below, please feel free to give us a little information about your shot — i.e. where and when it was taken — in the comments section. Who knows? Maybe your description will sway voters in your favour! Lead photo by Chipichape

Anyway, I think it's remarkably interesting to be able to get scenes like this in Toronto. It easily could have been taken from Hong Kong or somewhere in SE Asia. Good luck to all...except Yip and Proletar1at, those guys suck.
Interestingly enough, I actually meant to focus on the girl walking by. I was inside the Drake General Store on a rainy day and saw her walk by. I missed the focus on my manual lens, and when I got the shot developed, it turns out I nailed the focus on the glass. I liked that I could still make out the girl and the bike on the sidewalk.
The shot I took right after this one, of the next pedestrian (a nun with an umbrella!), was better focused, but not as interesting a photo:

As for the comment above re: editing - there is zero I did to the picture. It is straight from a 35mm roll of film shot on a 1980's Minolta SRT102.
Thanks for including me - they are all great shots!
