End of Season Recap: Vote for your favorite photo!

Hi All!

Continuing on with the End of Season Recap, I have finally found time to go through all of my photos. You know what that means...

Miguel de Madrid's Top 15 photos!

After going through the nearly 7000 (yes, seven thousand!) photos I've collected from myself and a variety of friends, I have compiled my top 15 photo list. The list is, of course, not exhaustive. I had to remove some of my favorite photos to reach my top 15. 
My main criteria was selecting photos that immediately stood out to me. Ones that you had to look at for more than a few seconds to really appreciate. 

Once you look through the list, VOTE! Below is a poll to record your favorite photo.

Another note: all photos are 'as is' and unedited. I'm just that good of a photographer!

Though the city itself has been completely rebuilt, the Warsaw Old Town displays vibrant colors highlighted by a nearly perfect sky.

Nearly 100,000 football fans watching the greatest rivalry match in the world: Real Madrid vs. Barcelona. Under the lights at the massive Santiago Bernabeau Stadium.

My favorite candid photo of the trip. The girl went up and gave money to the accordion player, who smiled as he continued playing. Just a simple photo of humans being human.

 Brilliantly displayed lights for the late night partying in Valencia for Las Fallas.

 I can argue some of the artistic points of bull fighting. Here, the matador stares down the bull knowing a false move could provoke a raging attack.

 Plaza de Espana of Sevilla with a rainbow fountain. Too easy.

 La Concha beach of San Sebastian on another perfect day. The best beach in all of Spain, I believe.

By far the best Plaza Mayor in Spain, the evening was the best time to enjoy the magnificent plaza adorned in golden lights.

 Though a picture from inside the Sistine Chapel would also work (though not allowed), the 'never ending' Map Room is nearly too well decorated to ignore. 
Vatican Map Room, Rome
 At a clearer time of day, the 'peaked' cathedral of Segovia is complemented by the mountains.

 Call me a sucker for symetry, but the Arc de Triomf of Barcelona offers just that along it's main promenade.

 A perfect day at the beach has this traveler contemplating his time in Ibiza.
