I know many of you feel my pain this week, the choices were incredible! I did make comments on some pictures that were too small, and thank you to those who went back and made the effort to enlarge them as it truly does double the impact and increases that wow factor!
I truly commend those who make the rounds each week and take the time to leave comments on everyones site, you spread positivity and encourage confidence. There are so many incredibly talented photographers here, many without a fancy camera, we learn so much from you all.
This competition has had a real feel of camaraderie, there has been absolutely no negativity or adverse competitiveness. The competition you see isn't really about being competitive at all ..its about acknowledging the greatness of those amongst us who truly do take some extra-ordinary photos....
I really do appreciate your efforts and your commitment to the site everyone..thank you!

ReplyDeleteHeather... once again the world of choices is amazing.... don't know how you do it..... but thank you for bringing us all together each week.....
ReplyDeleteMay the best shot win. Now it's up to each one of us to do our duty.. VOTE!
ReplyDeleteI ended up on so many pages I was lost! There is such a creative collective here of picture takers. My vote is in! -jd
ReplyDeleteI didn't make the top ten?!? Or honorable mention!?! Harumph! This competition is rigged!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding :-D I have to agree that I really do enjoy this weekly "event". It is so very interesting not only to see the quality of photos, but the sheer variety given each theme. Each photo link I click on is like opening a box of chocolates. I don't know what I'm going to get even though there is a common theme. It's a blast. Thank you to our hosts for taking the time to organize this for all of us. It's so fun and doesn't cost us anything but a little bit of our time.
Thank you.
Youve done it again.. A wonderful collection of Top Tens! Im sorry I didnt get to get by everyones pages this week but so many with such talent!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all! My vote is in!
I have to agree with Mav.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I didn't think mine would be in top 10. I am surprised. It's been wonderful to be able to share. Everyone was being creative and came out with their best idea.
congratulations everyone!
ReplyDeleteI have voted and thanks Heather for your hard work. They were all amazing shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the Honorable Mention-
ReplyDeleteThe photos this week are phenomenal! Great job everyone!
you had me going..just for a minute..whew....
ReplyDeletesorry guys...I worked last night and only got to the invites this morn..Bumblebike youre now one of us...
ReplyDelete,,and Beach Bubbles streaks into the lead....
ReplyDeleteAfter analyzing, going back and forth among my favorites, I finally relied on gut instinct and voted for the one that made me go "Oh!" when I looked at it. Composition, framing, etc., are all important and I learn something from every picture about the fine points of excellent photography. But in the end it all goes together (my opinion only) to create a picture which evokes something emotional. Just me.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much again to the admins of the site and to everyone who stops and leaves a picture on their site or comments on mine.
Congrats to all
ReplyDeleteI think thats the beauty of art in any form..it truly is subjective..its what grabs at our hearts in whatever way..
ReplyDeleteIt was a tough choice! They are all great!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so great! I had a hard time deciding.
ReplyDeleteSo many good ones to choose from. Congrats to all the finalists :)
ReplyDeleteYup, great choices once again, and thanks for including mine!
ReplyDeletecongrats to everyone on the top ten , this week has produced such good pictures its real real hard to decide what to vote for
ReplyDeleteCongratulations everyone! This was a terrible week to vote! SO many beautiful shots! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to one and all,
ReplyDeleteLike a horse race I feel like cheering on the one I voted for LOL...would that be wrong?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh..I woke up with a 101 fever and have been in bed all day and I come online to find out I'm in the top ten! Made my day muuuch better. Thank you and congrats to the others as well.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all and thanks for the honorable mention!

ReplyDeletecongratulations to the top 10, to the 10 HM,,to everyone who entered;and ty to everyone who came to my page and left a comment,,i have now cast my vote
ReplyDeletecongrats everyone :-)
ReplyDeleteI done my civic duty!! Congrats to all !
ReplyDeleteI'll have to catch up on some Ive missed ... sorry folks been one crazy week but I will I will !!
This has been such a fun week...thanks everyone!!
ReplyDeleteI was gone most of yesterday and never got to come back and vote or look at the winners. Time to do that now but too late to vote. Congrats to all the winners.
ReplyDeleteI like the competition, not for competition sakes... but because I find the quality of pictures are self evident, people try a lil harder... and I find folks participate very actively in comments and such. Its a nice spice.
ReplyDeleteI know some folks aren't favorable to the competition portion... some feathers get ruffled... even my vain butt has been shaken at times (I did NOT just admit that in public lolol)... but I find it brings a new dimension to PP.
Goes without saying our hosts work is doubled in competition mode... its a great investment in time.. thank you for all your efforts and I hope the success of this group is a fine reward!
What I really enjoy is reading what people did to get the picture they did. I don't so much care about which camera, but I love the stories of the picture, also appreciate the exposure time, fstop, and what they did to enhance the photo. I wish I were brave enough to ask for feedback on my fotos - eek - I am not that brave. But as I have said before much of the learning I do is by looking at others' photos. Thanks again.
ReplyDeletethanks for those fantabulous words Mimi...:)
ReplyDeleteI think we all might get our feathers ruffled once in a while during this, the key is to be mature enough about it to pout in private, LOL!
ReplyDeleteHear Hear Lanie..even Im learning that!
