OK, I'mma jump right in here and say:
Cartier-Bresson. He may be the only photographer who I really, in my dark and scaly heart, accept as playing in the same league as the master painters.
Berens. Certainly it annoys me that he is younger than me, but he incorporates ideas from contemporary animation and whimsically quotes my favorite of the great twee painters, my man Adolphe William Bouguereau.
Chuck Close -- if'n ya don't know, those aren't photos, they are great ginormous canvases.
Charles Demuth -- Woo Woo American abstraction baby!
Honorable mention to JSlatttum.com's dude in a suit getting his mind blown by the vastness of the universe, man. All in all he's just a, nother brick in the wahl.
Cartier-Bresson
Albertinelli
Slattum
And Demuth is probably my favorite of the bunch
Demuth, Close, and Bresson!
And... Walker? Pro Hart? Walker... Kind of Lange lite, I'll go with the Aussie.
Berens, Close, Demuth, Hart
I have a special fondness for the No. 5 in gold...
Cartier-Bresson and Evans for sure. The others are more difficult.
I'm going with Berens and Slattum to get a dose of the outre injected into this contest.
OK, I've been stalling...
My two definites are Demuth and Cartier-Bresson.
My second two are...Close and Albertinelli.
Cartier-Bresson makes it easy for me: interesting composition, but humanity too.
I'm good with Evans's photography too.
And... that's good enough for me today.
Postcard votes! Demuth, Cartier-Bresson, Close, and Pro Hart!

Flight 11 is closed! Nope, sorry, you had your chance. Closed.
Henri Cartier-Bresson leads the field with .909, and will advance to Phase II. Chuck Close and Charles Demuth tie for second with .727, and will also move on. I should start warning y'all right here, right now: Phase II is going to be brutal. You'll love it.
