Awesome round guys, and SO tough to judge! davev and myself have chosen the following finalists from which your votes will select the winner. In our independent selections for ten best photos, we agreed on 3 this time, giving us 17 finalists.

Remember, if you are not already qualified for the Mega-Challenge, and you are not in this list of finalists, you are eligible to play Round #6.

If you are on this list, keep an eye on the polls so you will know asap whether or not you are in the Mega-Challenge.

This is an open vote, all DGrin members are eligible to have their say. The poll closes 3 days from now, go go go!!!

    I'm glad I'm not in the top 5 - I already have a slot in the Mega challenge and would have hated to drop a potential participant off that list.

    Good luck to all of you!! clap.gif

    It was really hard to pick which ONE to vote for. I really liked them all and had a heckuva hard time narrowing it down. I guess that just has to mean that everyone submitted a wonderful photo. Great job, everyone!
