Great list. My favorites are #3, 7 & 8. Strong composition and creative use of lighting.

Disappointing I expected more. Good photos but not great photos.
I like # 5 and 10.
I like #1 simply because it is so emotional.
I like # 3 and #7 I am disappointed that there were no macro or fisheye photos in the mix
