Thank you all for your awesome contributions this week, not an easy theme..but the competitions are all about pushing the limits and raising the bar. None of the themes in this competition will be easy, most will make you stop and really think, but we have a healthy mix of artistic too for the creative ones and we are really anticipating great things!

  36. Wow! Thank you everyone! With the beauty of Petra, it was hard to go wrong with that shot. My daughter gave me inspiration as she had visited many times before, and had taken some wonderful photos. So I knew what to look for, and wasn't disappointed! This tour of Jordan and Petra was taken immediately after my breast cancer radiation treatments, and by the end of the day, I was toast! But what an experience. I'm so glad I could share it with you! (I gave the camera to my husband for the later part of the day!)

    If any of you want to see more of our Petra photos, they are in my Picasa album at http://picasaweb.google.com/PurkeyBH/20090926Petra#

    Thank you again, everyone!
