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!

  26. I ended up on so many pages I was lost! There is such a creative collective here of picture takers. My vote is in! -jd

    ReplyDelete
  27. I didn't make the top ten?!? Or honorable mention!?! Harumph! This competition is rigged!



    Just 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.

  29. I have to agree with Mav.
    Thanks 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.

  35. After 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.

    Thank 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.

  53. I 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.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I 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.

    I 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!

  55. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  56. thanks for those fantabulous words Mimi...:)

    ReplyDelete
  57. I 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!

  58. Hear Hear Lanie..even Im learning that!
