Another wonderful week has come and gone.

From the soft curve of the wave running up a sandy beach to the sharper edges of a variety of buildings, bridges and other man-made structures, you used light, colour and your own perspective to give us a unique insight into a world filled with all manner of shapes.

As you can see the choices below could easily have been the Top Twenty, it was almost impossible to choose just ten. Thank you for your time energy and commitment to this site folks, it continues to be amazing on so many levels.

A few points of business: Please remember no matter how high the quality of pictures and photographers, this remains a fun competition with no prize being offered other than acknowledgement and a badge for you to wear on your page, so with this in mind I ask you please.. no soliciting for votes on your friends pages, allow each to make their own choices without any coercion from anyone.

The other issue is sizing of pictures, there is a tutorial on the home page for those of you who are new, if you send me a pm I could walk you through posting from flickr or photobucket too.

  10. Congratulations to the Top Ten finalists. I was amazed to see that seven of the finalists are ones I would have chosen for the Top Ten. Shows we're on the same wavelength!!! LOL. It was a tough choice to narrow it down, but I think Dana's 'Swamp Thing' just had that magical 'something'.
    Congratulations also to the Honourable Mentions.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Geee! It is a draw for first and second place this time! We need a few more to vote to see who wins this week!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I love the voting polls when it's time to vote but what happen to other 100 or so people when it is time to vote..?
    I honestly dont get it..over and nearly there is 150 entries each week and maybe 90 out of those people vote each week..what's up with that?
    Is there that much "sore loser" attitude or" If mine is not picked, I'm not going to vote" attiitude?
    I have been curious about this for some time and it just seems like it is not enough participation when it comes down to the poll.
    It just seems childish to me !!
    If I stepped on anyone's toes..I dont apologize because this is childish to act like this!

    ReplyDelete
  41. phew made it - was working! Well done a diverse top ten! Do NOT know how you do it! Brilliant theme!
    Cheers for a fun week!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Heather explained, a week or so ago, (I think lol) that many people who participate in PP aren't *members* per say. Yanno them folks without a friends list? So when the voting poles come out.... they cant vote for it is *for members only*....

    least thats what I understood of it.

    Correct me if I'm wrong lol

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh my.. close race! Good luck everybody !

    ReplyDelete
