A huge thank you to all who participated!!
Some photos are perfectly shot, some have perfect effects, others have heart. It's so hard to choose! When I chose the theme, I didn't for one moment think of how hard it would be to choose. Knowing how much you all put in, I should have remembered from past experience. Once again, I have laughed, cried, sighed, oohed and aahed through the entries.
It is impossible to choose just ten!! But I'm a tough cookie... I'll grit my teeth and pick out ten ; )
A reminder: 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.

ReplyDeletewow.... speaking of tough! Who to vote for???
ReplyDeleteHaving the same problem here. I can't get some of the photos to load but I do remember most of them. Thanks Tint for another wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteI loved Baz's shot it is amazing but the clear capture of the Tour de France at such speed that is totally evident by the blurred background blew my mind. So that was my choice this week. Thank you Tint.

Congrats to all (I think I got around to telling everyone individually); this was a magnificent group of pictures. Thank you to everyone who stopped by my page and left such kind comments.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the honorable mention. This was a TOUGH choice.
ReplyDeleteI love this pic of the car Tint!! Great choices this week...congrats and good luck everyone, you've all done a fine job!!
ReplyDeleteBert is so happy.....so is Ace (Bert's landlord) because I (Ace) like That picture of Bert too. It's my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad people seem to like it. I think it shows Bert's character. Just a solid well adjusted wise level-headed person Chicken who is also tough. Ace has great respect for Bert.
Bert really is a good kind caring citizen and a good friend and companion..just tough. Ace hugs Bert every night when closing up the coop, and Bert loves being hugged and petted. He is a very interesting and complicated character, so much fun to have around.
Tint - I see what you mean... so many excellent photos. Trying to decide and thinking so hard would give me a headache.

congrads to both the top tens and the honorable mentions....there is alot of talent shown here weekly.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all, hard choice!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Bert! You can collect your badge here!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS everyone, for making this picture of Bert - the Mensa Chicken, Picture-Perfect #4-tough as, 1st place... I'm (Ace) so pleased that others like this picture too, because I really do love and respect Bert and he loves me (Not so sure he respects me?). . He has taught me a lot. He's such a character, a gentleman, and such a pleasure to have around (the hens too). He is quite macho, but he does love it when I hug him. He just won't admit it.
ReplyDelete= = = = =
And thanks to all who make Picture Perfect possible... I know it must be a great investment in time and effort,... and agony, to choose amongst so many terrific photos. Excellent job PP's
I feel Honored to be the Top Ten.. thanks everyone.. happy holiday!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
