    Wow! With all of the other amazing photos, I thought maybe an honorable mention, but wow! Thanks!! Pyry, you do need to put money down on these. Make a blog and start a following. Thanks rhommel for your selection! It was fun to watch the creative approaches to this competition. Some truly amazing shots!! Many were better than mine in my opinion. Congratulations to those who entered and those who had honorable mentions!! Watch for the new contest. It will start really soon! Look forward to sitting back and enjoying, then stressing on the selection.

    As Fernando would say:
    "It's better to look good than to feel good, and darling, you look marvelous."

    Good to be able to put some faces with the nicknames now.

    Rhommel, thanks for the HM. I know judging wasn't easy with all the greats shots in here.

    This contest started out a little slow, but in the end there were 60 posts and 2700 looks. That ain't bad.

    Congrats Shatch, that's a fine looking photo.

    Rommel, Thanks for including my photo in your picks! And thanks for the fun theme - it's always fun to put faces with names/nicknames. Congrat's to shatch on another entertaining and well crafted shot - he's got my vote for the title of "Mr. Consistancy" in these challenges.

    I spent some time earlier in the week browsing your web sites and blog. I'm so impressed with your work - and especially what you've accomplished in such a short period of time - A true testament to both your determination and your natural talent as a photographer! Beautiful work.

    Hope to stick around for a while, this being my first contest/entry to the forum... It's good to have a start already with all these new faces... I hope I learn enough to be on the top 3 one day :D

    cheers all,

    mike.

    Great shots! I had a plan for a shot, but schoolwork among other problems had to come first and I never got a chance to implement it. I don't know that I would have ranked them any different, but I do know that rhommel had a tough choice between the top 3!!
