Images with great composition, contrast and drama

Flipping though hundreds of photos day in and day out, it gets so when one stands out, it has to be really striking in some way. Using the "tag" function in our photo database, I've accumulated a number of images that fit in this category, from every corner of the collection. Enjoy some in this gallery, and then use the tags at the bottom of each photo record to see the other, or create your own set of photos based on your particular interests.
