For "Best Natural/Urban Overlap," I chose this one:
For "Best Vantage Point," I went with the bean by sgoralnick:
For "Best Density," I chose another photo by sgoralnick (I really like this one):

Thanks, everyone – and congrats – and check out the other jurors' picks, too: architechnophilia, Miss Representation, Polis, Life Without Buildings, and, of course, el tropolismo himself.
