    Though Wired.com readers selected 10 excellent photos in our [Arctic photo contest](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/rawfile/2010/10/wired-photo-contest-arctic/), we here at Raw File couldn't stand by and let some of our faves fall by the wayside. What follows are our 10 favorite submissions that we think deserved more attention. \- - - __Above:__ Winter Hiking ------------- Submitted by William Roth __Photographer's comment:__ "Nobody cares less about the cold then this dog. Gannett, aptly named for the highest peak in Wyoming, sinks into the snow with each step, but he leaps out like a snow worm each time, ready for more. Not me. I'm freaking cold."

    Waiting for the Mailman ----------------------- Submitted by Todd C __Photographer's comment:__ "The record-breaking 2010 snowstorm in Texas surprised us all. The overabundance of snow was actually quite eerie and spectacular at the same time. This photo was simply an intriguing shot. The mailbox, American flag, and the ridiculous amount of snow brought out a child-like excitement in me. Shot with an old FujiFilm digital camera."
