Why are the photos not numbered? How am I suppose to pick a winner?

Beerguy, great job on setting this up. Unfortunately, there are limitations you must deal with, and you've handled that as well as anyone could expect.
Everyone else, what helped me the most was to look at all the thumbnails for composition. To me, this immediately limited the choices down to about 6 or 8 photos worth looking at more closely. Then you have to blow these up to full size, understanding that come clarity is lost in all of them, but it should also be equal in all of them. This dropped the choices down to 4, because I'm picky about focus being spot on, and in all but just a couple of these, it is not.
In the end, I voted for a photo I wouldn't have normally cared much about. I've never had that kind of fish, even though they're pretty common. However, from a technical side, it seems to be the hardest to catch of all of these, and if nothing else, is the best executed.

Wow, very difficult. All very outstanding.
Based on technique, (focus, cleanliness, post processing) I was able to narrow it down to 50.
I then looked at composition, framing and how interesting the subject was and got it down to 14.
In a effort to further narrow it down I looked at the 14 for best use of lighting. I have gotten it down to four.
Now for the eeny meeny miney moe test. I won't say which one I chose so I don't skew anyone else's opinion.

What gorgeous photos --- I couldn't narrow it down to less than about 15. Sorry, I couldn't vote 
Great photos guys! And while I'm at it, I'd like to compliment God on his work, too.
