I was extremely impressed with the entries this round. A truly tough theme that left many of you scratching your heads - it really was wide open to interpretation. Congrats to our finalists! :clap :clap :clap

thebigsky and I agreed on 4 images this time, giving you all 16 to chose your favorite from. The top 5 from this round will be qualified to play in the DSS Mega-Challenge #2. :barb

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

In order of entry, the best Illustrating Text - A Dream Within A Dream (E.A. Poe) photos:

A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

    Should the poem be put in the top section of this voting thread for those that don't know it from the original entry thread?

    I went back to the original entry thread and #21 no longer appears there. It appears the user either turned off sharing or moved the image to a different gallery thus breaking the link.

    Press F5 to refresh your screen, you'll see that it goes away. I agree with Travis in that it was probably moved.

    Great shots, and congratulations to all the finalists.

    I also don't see #21, I'd hate to not see them all before I vote. I'll keep checking, but I may have to vote without seeing that one.

    I'm sure #21 has a broken link. I have PM'd Brundige, but there's nothing else I can do at this point.
