I had another look at the library show yesterday. After a number of viewings my opinion is that the best image is Ken's "Color Guard". The combination of the VFW guys and active duty people, facial expressions and sense of living history give the image staying power. I value images that are worth viewing more than once and which have depth. This image has those traits and is wonderfully composed and printed.
Also regarding the pictures of the model jumping into the water. Here is a link to some Washington Post images in a similar vein that do not have the contrived appearance of the Fallbrook images.

thanks very much, Ken
