I am going to stay with two shots that had the most impact on me when I first opened them.
"Belfast" by DaveMac has a stark reality that perfectly reflects the barrenness of the urban scene in this troubled city. The power/phone lines top right are just "right", as is the lack of any sign of "life". It tells a powerful story. An excellent B&W treatment.
"Cleaner" by Cleaner, also has a direct simplicity, that just made me say "wow" when I first saw it.
So....
"Belfast" by DaveMac = 3 points
“Cleaner” by Cleaner = 1 point
But I also congratulate the others for great shots.

Oh, well, it seems my turn to select my favourites.
First of all, thank you all for participating, and congrats to all finalist.
On the first one I have no doubt; Postcard from Mostar.
It's a bit sentimental reason (this town has suffered an tragic period recently), but maybe because of that I found it a very powerful image.
I like the way the image is processed too since it adds a specific expression.

Maybe because I found quite the opposite feeling my second choice is
Concorde’ Fontains, Paris
I particularly like the framing; more than just one main subject makes this images lovely expression.

Postcard from Mostar - 3
Concorde’ Fontains, Paris - 1
We may have questions waiting for answers !

"Belfast" by DaveMac 3
"Cleaner" by Cleaner 1

Some of the others are technically great but I thought these two best gave an impression of what a resident experiences.

The photos here make me wish I had the time to go out and photograph my hometown. Perhaps another time. I like all of the images but here are my picks:
Postcard from Mostar - 3pts.
I love the classic feel of the photo. It's like stepping back to the early years of photography. Well done!

Cleaner - 1 pt.
I love the composition of this one. This one gives me a very peaceful feeling.

Photoman's shot of Minneapolis is also beautiful. I live on the other side so I don't get to see the view from the northside of the city that much.

Cheers!
