As I looked through all the entries this week, the one thing which I didn't expect to find, was a whole spectrum of books which completely captivated me, and so I found myself scribbling down titles and authors as I went. A wonderful bonus!
I loved the creative elements so many of you used in submitting your pictures, there were some truly funny titles and some incredibly touching ones too, and with each came a beautiful picture. You all did so well, thank you!
After perusing the short list for hours, I have come up with these Top Ten photo's, as usual in no particular order. The Honourable Mentions are part of the word cloud this week..smiles..see how many titles you can find in there!
Honourable mentions: The Great Gatsby ;House on the Hill ;Quiet Reflections ;Pillars of the Earth; Cold Mountain; Love Story ;The Notebook; Our Town ;The Sun also Rises; The Long Winter Days in the Big Woods; Magic Mountain; A Summer of Silk Moths ;The Book of Kimono; Gone with the Wind; The Darkside of the All-American Meal;
Remember to watch the clock at the bottom of the page, one vote per person...let the fun begin!

ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WORD CLOUD!
THANKS for my honorable mention spot!
Hard vote..but did it!
ReplyDeleteAs a graphic artist, semi pro photographer, president of a photography club, and ex photography teacher, I thought that I would place in the top ten. At the very least, be an honorable mention. I did neither. But that is fine.
ReplyDeleteThere is amazing talent here as evidenced by the entries. I am happy to meet you all and be a part of this group. I look forward to future contests. Congrats to the top ten.
I don't know how you know you weren't in the HMs, I couldn't read any of em, LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the title montage, Heather! There are 3 that could be first - it was a tough vote!
ReplyDeleteI can't read them either. I hope they print them so we can read it.
ReplyDeleteall beautiful choices for the poll--very hard to choose and others that didn't make it that were great as well! lots of competition for sure!!! a great theme to start with too. love it!
ReplyDeleteWould you please list them as before so we can go back and take a look. The wood scramble takes too much time if one is on a busy schedule, plus I'm terrible at word games and remembering titles that go with the contacts.
ReplyDeletecool top 10 . .
ReplyDeleteThe Honourable Mentions? Where are they?
ReplyDeleteOMG thank you soooo much! Always an honor to get a top 10 in this fantastic group of photographers! I'm humbled... truly xo
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile... I'm having MAJOR internet issues *sobs* hehehe. I'll be back to check ALL the great entries this week as soon as I can. (hopefully by the time I get back home tonight... my internet issues will have been fixed) Pray for my internet lol!!
Kisses all around xo
I agree with mrsrh. It's not easy to remember who had which title.
ReplyDeleteMy duck? If so...thank you for liking it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats top 10, and everyone thanks for participating. it's fun and I look forward to the next one.

Congratulations to the Very Honourable Mentions also! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! I can't believe I missed that shot the first time around...that is totally awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow. I am sure it was hard to come up with the 20 on the list... And to narrow that down to the top 10 for the poll.. It must have been real hard... All of the entries were wonderful this week. I can't wait to see who wins...
ReplyDelete10 excellent choices from fabulous submissions that had to be hard to choose 20 out of -- I cast my vote and that was a tough choice /:-)
