I know it's probably a little late for this but I'll share my thoughts anyway.
Although I have a lot of respect for all of those that have participated (they sure have done a lot more than I did), I feel none of them managed to get it right.
The challenge was creating an image that represents a web picture gallery script called Coppermine with "your online photo album" as a slogan.
If you take the name and slogan out of the above images, there's no connection between the remaining image with a "online photo album" or a "web picture gallery script".
You can relate some with photos or photography but nothing more.
If you dissect the slogan into concepts, you have "online" and "photo album". These are the major guidelines for producing an image that represents CPG.
I've quickly sketched an image that aggregates these two concepts and although is very poor and unpolished, you can get the idea of what I mean

The gray element is a browser window, still one of the best ways to represent the online concept.
This isn't the "official point of view", you can explore this in a considerable number of ways.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to do it but maybe someone can take this some steps further.
Let me end by saying that I have no intention of disrespecting anyone or anyone's work. I'm just venting my thoughts and expressing my opinion.
